DateSlicer "Between" + MaxDate

[cn4422]

Hello,

I’m using a date slicer with the "Between" setting to provide more flexibility.

However, when the dataset is updated, the selected end date remains fixed on the previously selected date.

What I want is for the end date to automatically jump to the latest available date whenever the dataset is refreshed — similar to how it behaves when using the "After" setting in the slicer.

I've tried to create this and put it into the visual-filter with = 1.

Datum_Filter =

IF(

    'MaxDatum'[LetztesDatum] >= DATE(2025,1,1) && 'MaxDatum'[LetztesDatum] <= TODAY() - 1,

    1,

    0

)

But it doens't work when the data is refreshed.

Any idea on how to solve this?

Thx in advance! 🙂

Hello @cn4422 ,

You have couple of options available and I have covered in a similar post, here is the link :

You can modify slightly to show max date instead of today, Kindly check and let me know.

I hope this helps.

Did I answer your query ? Mark this as solution if this helps, Kudos are appreciated.

Warm Regards,

Hi @cn4422,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Forum Community.

The response accurately addresses the OP's issue in part but doesn't fully meet the requirement. Using a visual-level filter with a DAX measure (Max Date) to cap the data at the latest available date while keeping the "Between" slicer for custom date ranges is a valid solution and directly addresses the OP's concern.  
The Relative Date slicer is a dynamic alternative, but it sacrifices flexibility by only allowing predefined relative periods (like "Last X days") instead of custom start and end dates, which doesn’t fully align with the OP’s need.  
The "Before" slicer is less relevant, as it doesn’t provide the same flexibility for selecting a custom date range. While bookmarks offer a manual reset option, it doesn’t solve the OP's requirement for an automatic update to the end date after a dataset refresh. Overall, the visual-level filter solution is the most accurate, but the Relative Date slicer suggestion may not fully meet the OP's needs for flexibility in date range selection.

@cn4422 Create a measure that calculates the maximum date in your dataset. This measure should always return the latest date available in your data.

Max Date = MAX('YourTableName'[DateColumn])

Use this measure in a new measure that adjusts the end date of your slicer based on the maximum date in your dataset.

Adjusted End Date =
IF(
SELECTEDVALUE('YourTableName'[DateColumn]) = MAX('YourTableName'[DateColumn]),
MAX('YourTableName'[DateColumn]),
SELECTEDVALUE('YourTableName'[DateColumn])
)

Update your visual-level filter to use the "Between" setting with the start date as the minimum date in your dataset and the end date as the "Adjusted End Date" measure.

Hi @bhanu_gautam ,

thanks for your reply and sorry for my late reply. 🙂

I've created the two measures as suggested:

1)

Max Date = MAX('MaxDatum'[LetztesDatum])

2)

Adjusted End Date =

IF(

SELECTEDVALUE('MaxDatum'[LetztesDatum]) = [Max Date],

[Max Date],

SELECTEDVALUE(MaxDatum[LetztesDatum]

))

However, I'm not sure how to achieve this:

Update your visual-level filter to use the "Between" setting with the start date as the minimum date in your dataset and the end date as the "Adjusted End Date" measure.

Where can I set a specific date with the "Between" setting?
