Time Slicer

Hi !

 

I put a time slicer in a report :

 

 

The data come directly from a "date" column. 

 

I try to make an automatic selection for the current year and current month selected. (Exemple: if I select june 2018, it auto select january-may. If I select january 2019 it auto select january-december 2018).

 

Thank a lot !

    So the way I would do this is through changing the measure you are using for the visuals.

     

    something like this should work, when a single month is selected it will calculate the specificd measure from the start of the calendar year to the previous month.

     

    Measure =
IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( DateTable[Month] ),
    CALCULATE (
        [Measure],
        DATESBETWEEN (
            DateTable[Date],
            DATE ( YEAR ( MAX ( DateTable[Date] ) ), 1, 1 ),
            EOMONTH ( MAX ( DateTable[Date] ), -1 )
        )
    )
)

      I change some syntax who were not working, so this is the syntax who work

       

      date2 = 

IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( 'Data input'[Date].[Month] );
    CALCULATE (
        
        DATESBETWEEN (
            'Data input'[Date].[Date];
            DATE ( YEAR ( MAX ( 'Data input'[Date].[Date] ) ); 1; 1 );
            EOMONTH ( MAX ( 'Data input'[Date].[Date] ); -1 )
        )
    )
)

      Otherwise, is is not accept this measure as slicer

        So does the measure work for your needs?

         

        The reason you had to make the changes are two fold

        1. You are in a different region hence the , vs ;

        2. You do not have a datetable linked to your data table hence having to use the inbuilt datetable.
