Slicer not filtering based on measure

I am sure there is a easy change I need to make to get my slicers to work. But I am not sure what it is. 

 

This measure is counting how many employees we had active within a given timeframe. The problem is that the filter functions and all function have caused any slicer to not work with it. I am wondering what tweak I can make to have it filter with the slicers I have. 

 

VAR selectedDate =
    MAX ('calendar'[Day_Date] )
VAR result =
    CALCULATE (
        COUNTROWS ( 'Paycom EmployeeDemographics'),
        FILTER (
            FILTER ( all( 'Paycom EmployeeDemographics'), 'Paycom EmployeeDemographics'[HireDate]<= selectedDate ),
            'Paycom EmployeeDemographics'[TerminationDate] >= selectedDate
                || 'Paycom EmployeeDemographics'[TerminationDate] = BLANK ()
        )
    )
Var Rehireresult =

IF(COUNT('Paycom EmployeeDemographics'[including rehired])=2,CALCULATE (
        COUNTROWS ( 'Paycom EmployeeDemographics'),
        (FILTER (
            FILTER( ALL ( 'Paycom EmployeeDemographics'), 'Paycom EmployeeDemographics'[RehireDate] <= selectedDate),
            'Paycom EmployeeDemographics'[TerminationDate] >= selectedDate
                || 'Paycom EmployeeDemographics'[TerminationDate] = BLANK ()
        )
    )),0)
RETURN
    result+Rehireresult
 
I tried adding allselected insteard of all. It does work but it throws off all my numbers. I also tried placing a remove filters at the end of the function, but that didnt change anything.

Hi @ShawnG2G2 ,

Please try:

Measure = 
VAR selectedDate =
MAX ( 'calendar'[Day_Date] )
VAR result = 
CALCULATE (
    COUNTROWS ( 'Paycom EmployeeDemographics' ),
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Paycom EmployeeDemographics' ),
        'Paycom EmployeeDemographics'[HireDate] <= selectedDate
            && (
                'Paycom EmployeeDemographics'[TerminationDate] >= selectedDate
                    || 'Paycom EmployeeDemographics'[TerminationDate] = BLANK ()
            )
    )
)
Var Rehireresult =
IF (
    COUNT ( 'Paycom EmployeeDemographics'[including rehired] ) = 2,
    CALCULATE (
        COUNTROWS ( 'Paycom EmployeeDemographics' ),
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( 'Paycom EmployeeDemographics' ),
            'Paycom EmployeeDemographics'[RehireDate] <= selectedDate
                && (
                    'Paycom EmployeeDemographics'[TerminationDate] >= selectedDate
                        || 'Paycom EmployeeDemographics'[TerminationDate] = BLANK ()
                )
        )
    ),
    0
)
RETURN
    result+Rehireresult

If this does not work, could you consider providing a sanitized file for testing? That would be helpful.

Best Regards,

Thank you for the response! It does make the slicers work but the numbers change drastically by about 200. I am not sure why it does that.

Here is what the graph looks like:
