Hi @PBI_5,

Power bi does not support create dynamic calculated column/table based on filter. They do not work on the same level, and you can't use their child to affect its parent level.

Notice: the data level of power bi(from parent to child level)

Database(external) -> query table(query, custom function, query parameters) -> data model table(table, calculate column/table) -> data view with virtual tables(measure, visual, filter, slicer)

Regards,

Xiaoxin Sheng

@PBI_5 , You can not use slicer value in a calculated column, you can only use that in a measure
