Using Slicer and Chart to Show Historical Data

[vsorensen]

Hi Everyone, 

I have a table of activities that has the total slack for each activity at different dates. I want to display a chart using a measure that plots the total slack by date for all the dates up to the date I select in the slicer. 

This is what I want to see: 

This is what I get instead: 

I cannot turn off the interactions between the slicer and the chart because I want the chart to change if I select a different date and I cannot change the slicer options to "between" or "multi-select" because of customer requirements. 

This is what my data looks like:

This is the measure I am currently using to display the slack trend:

slack trend = 
CALCULATE(
    MAX(schedule[total_slack]),
    FILTER(
        schedule,
        schedule[statusperiod] = MAX(schedule[statusperiod])
    )
)

Thanks in advance!

@vsorensen , If you are filtering one value and want a trend of more than that , then the slicer needs to be on an independent table 

//Date1 is independent Date table, Date is joined with Table
new measure =
var _max = maxx(allselected(Date1),Date1[Date])
var _min = _max -5
return
calculate( sum(Table[Value]), filter('Date', 'Date'[Date] >=_min && 'Date'[Date] <=_max))
