Date slicer - Multi dates

Hello All,

 

I'm trying to create a date filter with following scenario:

 

1. IF Monday - Display Fri date

2. IF Tuesday - display Sat , Sun, Mon dates

2. Rest all Day - 1

 

I want to display like below : 

 

Slicer Date     Date      

10/12/2021   10/11/2021     

                      10/10/2021    

                      10/09/2021   

10/11/2021   10/08/2021

10/10/2021  10/09/2021     

10/09/2021   10/08/2021     

 

Tried below option:

 

DATE = IF ( 'DateDim' [DayofWeek] = "Monday", 'DateDim'[Date] - 3,

             IF ( 'DateDim' [DayofWeek] = "Tuesday",

                 VAR Current_date = LASTDATE('DateDim'[Date])

                     VAR NumberofDays = WEEKDAY(LASTDATE('DateDim'[Date]) ,1)

                          RETURN   DATEADD(Current_date, -1 * NumberofDays, DAY), 

            'DateDim'[Date] -1 ) )

                  

 Result : for 10/12/2021 it shows 10/09/2021 date only. I want to see 10/09 , 10/10, 10/11

Hi @powerbi_ki 

 

Based on test, we haven’t found a method to put Date column and Slicer Date column to same table visual. But you may consider this solution.

1 Create a Slicer with Date column from Slicer table

2 Create a Measure to set flag for Date column from Date table

Flag =

var _selecteddate=SELECTEDVALUE('Slicer'[Date])

var _weeknum=WEEKNUM(_selecteddate)

var _weekday=WEEKDAY(_selecteddate,2)

return

SWITCH(

    _weekday,

    1,IF(MAX('calender'[Date])=_selecteddate-3,1,0),

    2,IF((MAX('calender'[Date])>=_selecteddate-3&&MAX('calender'[Date])<=_selecteddate-1),1,0),

    IF(MAX('calender'[Date])=_selecteddate-1,1,0))

 

3 Use Date column to create Table visual and use Flag measure to set filter on this visual

4 Select a date in Slicer, you will get expected date in Table visual
