Help with Calculated Column

Hi All,

Need youe expertise in solving a problem

I have 2 Tables - Lets call them Table A and Table B

Table A has records with a date column called as Date_Created. 

Table B is simple calandar Date entries which are unique.

Both Tables are not linked with each other as am using Table B only to create a slicer to get user input. Lets call this user input as Selected_Date

 

All i want to do is to have calculated column in Table A, which should say "Yes" if Table A[Date_Created] > Selected_Date

 

I tired fetching value of Slicer in a measure as Selected_Date = selectedvalue(Table B[Date]), but doesnt work. However if i enter a constant value Selected_Date = Date(2020,01,01), the calculated column works. But i want user to be able to input date on report.

How do i do this please.

Hi @ajeets 

 

The only way you can do it is with the use of Measure as, as columns are not dynamic and refresh on load only.

Measure = SELECTEDVALUE( table[Date] ) > SELECTEDVALUE( slicertable[Date] )

and place it in the visual
