DYNAMIC SLICER - Period

Hello,

 

For more than a week...

 

I have been on a task to create a dynamic slicer that can show  daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly and financial year periods.

 

I have tried everything I could read here on these community pages as well as you tube videos. I have post here https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Slicer-not-categorizing-properly-unable-to-di... but as much as I could apply.. I have struggled.

 

I am now desperate... is there anyone kind enough to provide me with a Power BI sample that has such a slicer.

 

Please contact me here or privately.

 

I could do with a solution.

 

Regards

HI @matrix_user,

You can look at the following links about dynamic segmentation and dynamic attribute report if helps:

Hi v-shex-msft

 

Thank you for those links... where exactly are they talking about date periods? They refer to catogories and I failed to see any date periods. Slice by day, week, month, quarter, year fy year and ytd. 

 

Can anyone really help?

Seriously amitchandak...

Not helpful at all...all that bunch of cut and paste DAX. Im looking for daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly and financial year periods. Couldn't find anything relevant in any of your posts. Cheers.

Additional version of same formula used in blog

"Rolling 3", _max1,
"Rolling 6", _max1,
"Rolling 12",_max1,
"Rolling 7 Day",_max1,
"Yesterday",_max1-1,
BLANK())

var _min =
SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE(Period[PeriodType],"MTD"),
"YTD",eomonth(_max,-1*MONTH(_max))+1 , //FY April -March
"FYTD",if( Month(_max) <4 , date(year(_max)-1,4,1) ,date(year(_max),4,1)), //FY April -March
"QTD",eomonth(_max,-1* if( mod(Month(_max),3) =0,3,mod(Month(_max),3)))+1,

"LMTD",eomonth(_max,-1)+1,

"Cumm", Minx(ALLSELECTED('Date'),'Date'[Date]),

return
CALCULATE([net] ,DATESBETWEEN('Date'[Date],_min,_max))
