Using 1 slicer to get all the correct dates

I have the following 3 tables in my model , table 1 has a one to many relation to table 2 and 3 via EmplID

EmplIDEmployedFromEmployedTo 
11/01/201931/12/2054 
    
EmplIDReportToFromReportsToToReportsToID
11/01/201931/12/20191
11/01/202031/12/20203
11/01/202131/12/20544
    
EmplIDPositionFromPositionToPositionID
11/01/201930/06/201912
11/07/201930/06/202113
11/07/202131/12/205414

 

What I'm trying to achieve via 1 slicer is to get the correct record out of each table. So for instance if I would choose the date 

1/1/2020

The report  would show 

EmplIDReportstoPosition
1313

1/1/2021 would result in

EmplIDReportstoPosition
14

13

 

How can this be achived ?

Thanks in advance ,

Rbie

Hi @Rbie ,

 

Please try to add a Date table and create measure with below dax formula:

Date:

EmpID =
VAR _a =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Date'[Date] )
VAR _b =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table 1'[EmplID] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table 1' ), [EmployedFrom] <= _a && [EmployedTo] >= _a )
    )
RETURN
    _b
Reports To =
VAR _a =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Date'[Date] )
VAR _b =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table 2'[ReportsToID] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table 2' ), [ReportToFrom] <= _a && [ReportsToTo] >= _a )
    )
RETURN
    _b
Position =
VAR _a =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Date'[Date] )
VAR _b =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table 3'[PositionID] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table 3' ), [PositionFrom] <= _a && [PositionTo] >= _a )
    )
RETURN
    _b

Add a slicer with Date table, add a table visual with measure:
