3 Date columns, to 1 slicer?

Anonymous — Wed, 03 Aug 2022 09:16:18 GMT

Hello I is there any way to create 1 slicer( through dax maybe?) that is responsible for changing dates from 3 tables? I have measure which operates on changed dates across thoose tables.

My only solution is creating bookmarks with written time periods through filters, but i want it to be open slicer.

Anonymous of course, create a new date dimenstion table is what you need to do always and now you actually have to 🙂
Please refer to this tutorial on how to create a date table:

All the tutorials i have read are showing me comparision time intelligence. I cant see how it could help me with filtering of 3 value parts of my measure, by changing dates in slicer

it was the first step, hoped it will bring you close enough.
You shouldn't create a model like in your photo with bi directional many to many relationship. You need date dimension / dimensions maybe in your case but I think you need to be more clear on your question.
Maybe share a sample file and what is the result you want to achieve.

I dont have really a choice. Its a database base with multiple entries to product ID, updated with new lines every day. It will always have many entries

The main goal is to replace thoose slicers with 1. Every slicer is responsible for their own table

So why did you create a relationship between the dates?

There is no relation in dates. Only by "pn" product number, its essential for the measure.

Thats the question how can i filter the measure result by one date slicers
