How to use two measures for filtering without breaking each other

My pbix file.

 

I have two measures created.

 

2DataPointsSoilBlock = COUNTROWS(
  FILTER(
    SUMMARIZE(
      tblSoilDetail,
      tblSoilDetail[Block],
      tblSamples[Year]
    ),
    [Block] <> BLANK() && [Year] <> BLANK()
  )
)

 

 

 

SampleCurrentYear = IF(YEAR('tblSamples'[Date]) = YEAR(TODAY()), "Yes", "No")

 


I need to "pre-filter" Block slicer. The first measure if set "greater than 1" hides Blocks with less than 2 data points (data for only 1 calendar year). The second measure if set "yes" hides Blocks that has no data for current year. All works fine when I use one of these measures at a time, but they break each other if used together.

Is there any way of merging them or walkaround?

I don't know how to make both measures work at the same time but I have found another solution.

As a replacement for the second measure (checking for this year) I a new query in Query Editor merging tables tblSoilDetail and tblSamples, and kept there only Block from the first and the Date from the latter. Erased all empty rows, duplicates, and filtered Date column to be this year.
After that I created a measure below and used it to pre-filter Block slicer by setting the ControlSoilBlock is not blank.

 

ControlSoilBlock = var _tab = SUMMARIZE(ALLSELECTED(FilterSoil), FilterSoil[Block])
return 
COUNTROWS(FILTER(tblSoilDetail, tblSoilDetail[Block] in _tab))
