Trying to create a filter using a new column

Hi All,

 

Screenshot of data I'm working with:

I'm trying to create a filter to enable filtering of "uninteresting" data - either the sparkline is flat, or the max/min points along the line are within a tolerance of 5%.  So, I can create a measure that returns the filter options I want - "flat", "within tolerance", "outside tolerance" - see column labeled "test_z".  Unfortunately, Power BI does not allow using a measure as a filter.  I then created a new column ("line_filter") with a similar calculation to the one in the measure, but you can see the DAX statement always returns "outside tolerance".

 

DAX statement in measure "test_z":

test_z = if(trend_checker_vw[POI_count_max] = trend_checker_vw[POI_count_min], "flat",
if (((trend_checker_vw[POI_count_max] - trend_checker_vw[POI_count_min])/trend_checker_vw[POI_count_min]) <= 0.05, "within tolerance", "outside tolerance"
)
)

 

DAX statement in column "line_filter":

line_filter = if ( max(trend_checker_vw[count]) = min(trend_checker_vw[count]), "flat",
if ((max(trend_checker_vw[count]) - min(trend_checker_vw[count]))/min(trend_checker_vw[count]) <= 0.05,"within tolerance", "outside tolerance")
)
 
What am I doing wrong?
 
Thanks in advance,
Hans
