How to Use a variable as filter in caclulate

I am trying to sum all the employees that left between 30 to 365 days.
how can I use the "flag" in the calculate formula?
 
 
# Under 1 year =
var workStartDate=MAX('Employee data for PBI'[Work Start Date])
var workEndDate=MAX('Employee data for PBI'[Final Process Date])
var seniority= DATEDIFF(workStartDate, workEndDate, DAY)
var flag=IF(seniority>=30 && seniority<=365,1,0)
var emps=CALCULATE(SUM('Employee data for PBI'[# Terminated]))
return emps

Try add All() function to set the context to all table:

 

var emps=CALCULATE(SUM('Employee data for PBI'[# Terminated]), filter(All('Employee data for PBI'), flag =1))

@Anonymous , Try a new measure like

 

# Under 1 year =
var workStartDate=('Employee data for PBI'[Work Start Date])
var workEndDate=('Employee data for PBI'[Final Process Date])
var seniority= DATEDIFF(workStartDate, workEndDate, DAY)
var flag=IF(seniority>=30 && seniority<=365,1,0)
var emps=CALCULATE(SUM('Employee data for PBI'[# Terminated]), filter('Employee data for PBI', flag =1))
return emps

thanks @amitchandak! it looks like it works, but the measure doesn't sum the total number of employees terminated.

if I put the data on a table for each employee I do see the values (0 or 1)
