How to create new calculated table and filter it dynamically using measures
Hi I'm trying to create a new table based on existing dataset query1 in power bi, Because there is a duplicate values in the Snap_date column in the query1, But we need to use only Snap_date as filter so, that's why I have written a query like these
First created a date table
Date Table =
CALENDAR (
Min('query1' [Snap_date],
Max('query1' [Snap_date]
)
Then created 2 measures in the Date Table
Start Date = Min('Date Table'[Date]
End Date = Max('Date Table'[Date]
- My requirement is to place the Date Table Date column in the between slicer and when I change the slicer these values need to go in to measures, Up to here everything working as expected
In the last step I have created a table
NewTable =
SUMMARIZE (
FILTER (
query1,
query1[SNAP_DATE] >= [Start Date] &&
query1[SNAP_DATE] <= [End Date]
),
query1[ID],
query1[LN],
query1[AMT],
query1[CITY]
)
When I change the values in the slicer why these date measures are not filtering data according to the slicer
Please help!
Hi Bhargav150 ,
The slicer visual can’t influence the calculated table.
Besides, try to calculate the measure to filter the new table.
Measure = var _date = SELECTEDVALUE(NewTable[SNAP_DATE]) RETURN IF(_date >= [Start Date] && _date <= [End Date], 1, 0)Then, set the show items is 1.

Hi Bhargav150 without model and details it is hard to spot issue.
Still, try v2 below
NewTable v2 =
VAR __Start_Date = Min('Date Table'[Date]
VAR __End_Date = Max('Date Table'[Date]
RETURN
SUMMARIZE (FILTER (
query1,
query1[SNAP_DATE] >= __Start_Date &&
query1[SNAP_DATE] <= __End_Date
),
query1[ID],
query1[LN],
query1[AMT],
query1[CITY]
)
Not working 😔 some_bih
Hi Bhargav150 ,
Based on my testing, please try the following methods:
1.Create the sample table.
2.Create the new calculated table.
NewTable = SUMMARIZE ( query1, query1[SNAP_DATE], query1[ID], query1[LN], query1[AMT], query1[CITY] )3.Create the new relationship between date table and calculated table.
4.Change the date range in the slicer visual.
5.The result is shown below.

Hi Anonymous
FYI, the SNAPSHOT_DATE column updates daily with yesterday's date, but apart from that, the remaining columns' data is 90 percent similar. If I include SNAPSHOT_DATE in the summary, it will cause many duplicates. That's the problem here.
