Calculated column based on slicer selection

I know slicers values can't change Calculated columns value, but looking for a workaround for my scenario.

 

I have a merge table From Person and Objectives.

If the merge table has Objective ID -> Calculated column to Yes

 

I need now to add a filter to the calculated colum from the selected value of a Sync Slicer

 

I dont think I have any other laternative but to use a calculated colum, isn' it?

How could add the extra filter I need into the calculated colum?

Thanks

Dear @JSR ,
Please try to explain more , i am sure i can help you in this .
what i understood is you want to use a synced slicer to filter the calculated column .
If you want power BI to recalculate when you change slicer selection then you will have to use calculated measures.
try writting me what do you actually want , I will be happy to help

@JSR ,The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example.

Appreciate your Kudos.

Sure thanks.

I have this calculated colum: 

Performace Objective Set = if('Merge Performance'[Performance Objectives Id] <> "",  "Yes", "No")
 
And I need to include another condition based on the selected value of a Slicer, but adding the following in bold doesnt change the value of calculated column.
 
Performace Objective Set = if('Merge Performance'[Performance Objectives Id] <> "" && SELECTEDVALUE('Performance Objectives'[Year], "2020") = 'Merge Performance'[Performance Objectives Year] ,  "Yes", "No") 

Dear @JSR ,
Please try and let me know 

Performace Objective Set =
                                      var Alpha=Merge Performance'[Performance Objectives Id]
                                      var Beta = 'Merge Performance'[Performance Objectives Year]
                                      Return IF((NOT(ISBLANK(Alpha))  && SELECTEDVALUE('Performance Objectives'[Year], "2020") == Beta ,   "Yes", "No")
I hope it works 
orelse will try again to help , till you reach your solution

Thanks again @Sujit_Thakur for your reply

I had to add ) at the end of your sentence

Not sure why I'm getting Operator or expression '( )' is not supported in this context.
