Create new Column based on Slicer

[Pfoerster]

Hello,

in my table, I have a column called "Scenario", which allows the User to select datas for Actual, Budget, LUF.... 

Now, in order to be able to create a stacked barchard, I will create a new Scenario, which is based on a Slicer the User can use: This Slicer is the Year and the new scenario should be called "Previous" and should filter then on Scenario "Actual" and Year = Selected Year - 1.  (with that, the visual would work fine and  I can show the Previous Year, planned periods (Budget, LUF) and Actual Year). 

I currently have: 

A second table which is not linked to the Mastertable with all the years which are available. (=YearDimension)

A measure called "SelYear" = Selectedvalue(YearDimension[Jahr])

A measure called "PrevYear" = RawData[SelYear] - 1

Both measures are part of the Mastertable and when I choose in the year slicer the year 2020, my PrevYear is 2019.

Now, I have build a new column in the mastertable called "Scen" with

Scen = If(And('Raw Data'[Scenario] = "Actual", 'Raw Data'[Jahr]=[PrevYear]),"Previous",'Raw Data'[Scenario])

But this is not giving me the new Scenario "Previous" for the 2019 Actual values.... How can I create such a new Scenario based on the Year Slicer?

@Pfoerster , Not very clear .

Please check how measure slicer is done

example

YTD  = CALCULATE([Total],DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"))
Last YTD  = CALCULATE([Total],DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"12/31"))
This year  = CALCULATE([Total],DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR('Date'[Date]),"12/31"))
Last to last YTD  = CALCULATE([Total],DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-2,Year),"12/31"))

To make it clear: 

Scenario	Year	Territory	Scen
Actual	2020	East	Actual
Budget	2020	East	Budget
Actual	2019	East	Previous
LUF	2020	East	LUF

My table is looking like this, but: Currently, I am struggeling by getting the "Previous". This should occure, when the user is selecting 2020 in a Slicer in the report. So, the column "Scen" is based on the Slicer of the Report.

Hi @Pfoerster ,

First create a year table as below:

Table 2 = VALUES('Table'[Year])

Then create a measure as below:

_Scen = 
IF(MAX('Table'[Year])=SELECTEDVALUE('Table 2'[Year])-1&&MAX('Table'[Scenario])="Actual","Previous",MAX('Table'[Scenario]))

And you will see:

You can use the following measure to color the above value:

_color = IF('Table'[_Scen]="Previous","#f44242","#000000")

For the related .pbix file,pls see attached.
