Dynamically sort visuals by custom period

I'm trying to filter visuals based on a custom text column in my Date table of the format "YY-PP"  (ie "21-09")

I'd like to be able filter by having some visuals display data for the current period and others for the previous period without having to manually adjust slicers.

 

Thanks!

Hi @Blizz003 ,

 

Please refer to this blog: Display Last N Months & Selected Month using Single Date Dimension in Power BI – Some Random Thought....

 

When using one single Date Demension table, you can use just one slicer to dynamically control all needed visuals.
