Return value of selected date from a drop down slicer

I need to get the selected date from a drop down slicer from a date table that does not have relationships to any tables. The selected date is then put to a new column. I tried using selectedvalue and it only returns blanks.

Let us assume you want to show the date on cart

 

Measure =

Var _max =Maxx(Date,allselected(Date[Date]))

Return

_max

 

You want sales from the sales table

 

Measure =

Var _max =Maxx(Date,allselected(Date[Date]))

Return

calculate(sum(sales[value]),sale[date]=_max)

 

Please put up an example of what you need.

Thank you for the quick response.

 

You are correct Mr. Felix, i did not tried that procedure which is returning blanks on the custom column.

 

Measure =

Var _max =Maxx(Date,allselected(Date[Date]))

Return

_max

Hi @ggzmorsh ,

 

You cannot get data from a slicer into a calculated column you need to use a measure in order to get the calculations you need.

 

So the selectedvalue is the correct formula however that needs to be used in a measure. What is the calculation you are trying to achieve in the calculated column?

 

Can you share a mockup data so I can assist you better.


Regards

Miguel Félix
