Filter visual using checkbox
Hi,
I have a large table and I am trying to figure out a way to create a checkbox slicer in powerbi that when selected it will filter a table to show what was added to the table after a fixed date. So what I'm trying to accomplish is allowing the users to see what has been recently added to the table. So I update the data in the table once a quarter and say the last update was in August, 2024. If you select the checkbox, you will now only see in the table what was added after Aug 2024. I know I could just use a slider, but then the user would have to input the date. I just want a simple checkbox which would be labeled, show new items since last update, and it would just show based on the date I input.
machucam Does this work for you? Adding a simple calculated column to return "Is Latest" for the MAX date, and using that in a slicer.

Thanks. That was a good workaround.

I know I'm a year late, but I was also looking for a checkbox and was frustrated that I couldn't find one that looked and felt like a real checkbox. I built my own and wanted to share it here.
