Row level calculation based on date selected
Hi,
I have a table with a Original_Date field on each row. I will have a date slicer for user to pick the date.
I need to use a Matrix with Group, Tenant, Type in Rows and a new calculated field in Values. This new field will calculate Days_Outstanding (= User's Date - Original_Date).
The issue is that this calculation first needs to happen on each row and each Group+Tenant+Type is not unqiue, so I can't use User's Date - Max(Original_Date) in DAX. My idea is create a dynamic temp table that refreshes itself depend on User's Date but I don't know how.
Here is an example in Excel: Col A-E are source data. Col F links to user's selected date so it's dynamic, then col G calculation will update. However I'm not sure how to implement something similar in Power BI using DAX.
Having problem to attach a pbix file, so I pasted the data here. Thank you!

You cannot update a table from a slicer as the model is completed and loaded. To achieve your goal, you can create a measure based on the user's date selection:Days Outstanding = var __dateselected = SELECTEDVALUE(Dates[Date]) return SUMX( Table3, DATEDIFF( __dateselected ,Table3[Original_Date],DAY ) )
