Adding filter via code to an existing table on desktop - how?

I have an existing table that I created by clicking on a table visualisation, then manually dropped a measure and dimension columns into it. 

 

I would like to add a date filter via a custom measure to the table programatically.  Normally when I add a filter to a table its by  manual drag and drop then manual configuration of the filter. The date is to be extracted from a slicer drop down value from the desktop, and stored in a cutom measure, then passed to the filter on the table.

 

I havent done this before, so any help appreciated.

    Hi Anonymous You can try by creating a measure using SELECTEDVALUE to capture the slicer date (e.g., SelectedDate = SELECTEDVALUE('DateTable'[Date])). Then, create another measure to filter rows, such as FilteredTable = IF(MAX('YourTable'[DateColumn]) = [SelectedDate], 1, 0). Add this measure to the table visual’s filters pane and set it to is 1.

      Hi, thank you for your help.

       

      My slicer has an output of 4 ( the month of april ), which i have confirmed is correct

      I get my [month behind] using this measure :    [month behind] = SELECTEDVALUE('Calendar'[Month]) -1

      which gives value of 3 ( month of march )
      When I drag and drop [month behind] onto the desktop , I see a value of 3, so that is OK.
       
      When I create this new measure :
      FilteredTable = IF(MAX('Calendar'[Month]) = [month behind], 1, 0)
      and set it to 1 as you suggested, unfortunately I get no data unfortunately ( the output is blank ).

       

      Not sure why ?

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.

     

    Make sure the fact table has a proper relationship to the calendar table on a date field.

    Use this below mesure:

    ShowPreviousMonthRows =

    VAR SelectedMonth = SELECTEDVALUE('Calendar'[Month])

    VAR TargetMonth = SelectedMonth - 1

    VAR RowMonth = MONTH(MAX('Yourtable'[Date])) 

    RETURN

        IF(RowMonth = TargetMonth, 1, 0)

     

    Add this measure to the filters pane of the table visual and set the filter condition to 1.

    This will ensure the table only shows rows from the month prior to the one selected in the slicer.
