Variable End dates for DATESBETWEEN function
Hi amitchandak
Thanks for your quick replies!
Yes Today() function is together with a measure that uses SELECTEDVALUE
to further break it down: That Selected Value is below:
Week Variable =
var _select = SELECTEDVALUE('Calendar Week Look Ahead'[Weeks])
return
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
_select="1 Week",7,
_select="2 Weeks",14,
_select="3 Weeks",21,
_select="4 Weeks",28,
_select="5 Weeks",35
)
As you can see my intention here is the Have a slicer that controls the Dates Range. TODAY() function works well as a measure together with SELECTED VALUE measure. It becomes a different story when it is inside the DATESBETWEEN.
I recreated a similar powerbi with same issue.

Here are the measure that works (Table or Card Visual:
- Selval = SELECTEDVALUE('Select'[Selection],0)
- Variable Day = TODAY()+'Select'[Selval]
- Variable Dates Manual = DATESBETWEEN('Calendar'[Date],TODAY(),TODAY()+15)
- Variable Dates = DATESBETWEEN('Calendar'[Date],TODAY(),TODAY()+'Select'[Selval])
Does this mean SELECTEDVALUE cannot be used for DATESBETWEEN if SELECTEDVALUE is picking up from a column or table?
Thanks again
