Date slicer help

Hello all,

I need some help creating a custom date slicer. When the user selects a year, I want the visual to show data from the same year, the previous six months, and the coming six months.  If I choose 2010 on this slicer, the time frame will last six months, from 2009 through the first six months of 2011. 

 

TIA

Hi  @Puja ,

I created some data:

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create calculated table.

Table 2 =
DISTINCT('Table'[Year])

vyangliumsft_1-1669944106301.png

2. Create measure.

Flag =
var _select=SELECTEDVALUE('Table 2'[Year])
var _previoussixmonths=EOMONTH(DATE(_select,1,1),-8) //2009 5 .31
var _comingsixmonths=EOMONTH(DATE(_select,12,31),+6)
return
IF(
    MAX('Table'[Date]) >_previoussixmonths &&MAX('Table'[Date])<=_comingsixmonths,1,0)

3. Place [Flag]in Filters, set is=1, apply filter.
