mmowrey , You can use relative date slicer.

 

You can create a column in date table

 

example

Date Type = SWITCH(TRUE(),'Date'[Date]<=TODAY() && 'Date'[Date]>=TODAY() -7,"Last 7 days"
,'Date'[Date]&"")

 

or for next 7 days

Date Type = SWITCH(TRUE(),'Date'[Date]>=TODAY() && 'Date'[Date]<=TODAY() +7,"Next 7 days"
,'Date'[Date]&"")

 

or rolling 7 formula

new measure =

CALCULATE(countrows(Table),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date],max('Date'[Date]),-7,DAY))

does this work if i have a date slice looking 7 days ahead but i want my column to look back 365 days for average.. I don't want that historical column running off the 7 day ahead slicer..

 

Thanks so much
