Filtering between week end dates with two dropdown (start period and end period)

Hello community,

 

I am facing the following problem. I want to be able to filter between two week end dates. I need to use two dropdown filter for a start and en period. Each drop down will only have the week end date (suppose every friday date). Currently PowerBI offers the possibility to filter between dates but with a slider ( which is a calnder with all dates displayed, not what I am lokking for). I found this post that tackle the issues : https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/Drop-down-box-to-filter-two-dates/m-p/1996708 

However this solution does seems really efficient if I were to add a filter to each of my visualisations ? 

Do you have any ideas how this could be done more efficiently ?

Let me know you thoughts or input about this 🤔

The hard way:  Create two disconnected tables with your weeks, use these to feed the two slicers, and use measures for your visuals.

 

The easy way:  Teach your users how to use the Filter Pane.
