Granularity with dynamic range limitation

On the left side I have slicer for granularity - made with additional table connected with relationship in both directions.

On the right side I have slicer which limits the range of data.

 

How to combine those two solutions so that they would work?

@gumis_rulez,

 

One approach is to use a field parameter for the D/W/M/Q/Y slicer. Use the field parameter in the x-axis to enable dynamic selection of granularity.

The granularity works: D/W/M/Q/Y is a slicer based on the table:

 

hlp_Dynamic Date Selections = 
UNION(
    ADDCOLUMNS(
        CALENDAR(
            MIN(dimCalendar[Date]),
            MAX(dimCalendar[Date])
        ),
        "Visual Date", [Date],
        "Type", "D",
        "Order", 1
    ),
    ADDCOLUMNS(
        CALENDAR(
            MIN(dimCalendar[Date]),
            MAX(dimCalendar[Date])
        ),
        "Visual Date", 
        [Date] - WEEKDAY([Date], 2) + 1,
        "Type", "W",
        "Order", 2
    ),
    ADDCOLUMNS(
        CALENDAR(
            MIN(dimCalendar[Date]),
            MAX(dimCalendar[Date])
        ),
        "Visual Date", YEAR([Date]) & "-" & MONTH([Date]),
        "Type", "M",
        "Order", 3
    ),
    ADDCOLUMNS(
        CALENDAR(
            MIN(dimCalendar[Date]),
            MAX(dimCalendar[Date])
        ),
        "Visual Date", YEAR([Date]) & "-Q" & CEILING(MONTH([Date])/3, 1),
        "Type", "Q",
        "Order", 4
    ),
    ADDCOLUMNS(
        CALENDAR(
            MIN(dimCalendar[Date]),
            MAX(dimCalendar[Date])
        ),
        "Visual Date", YEAR([Date]),
        "Type", "Y",
        "Order", 5
    )
)

 

Question is how to combine:

 

Date Param = 
CALCULATE(
    [Sales],
    KEEPFILTERS(
        DATESBETWEEN(
            dimCalendar[Date],
            [Selected Min Date],
            [Max Date]
        )
    )
)

 

where

 

Selected Min Date = 
VAR _MaxDate = [Max Date]
VAR _MinDate = [Min Date] - 1

RETURN

SWITCH(
    'hlp_Date Selection'[Selected Date Selection],
    "1W", _MaxDate - 7,
    "1M", EDATE(_MaxDate, -1),
    "3M", EDATE(_MaxDate, -3),
    "TY", DATE(YEAR(_MaxDate), 1, 1),
    "1Y", EDATE(_MaxDate, -12),
    "ALL", _MinDate )

and

Max Date = 
CALCULATE(
    MAX(dimCalendar[Date]),
    REMOVEFILTERS(dimCalendar[Date])
)

to automatically limit the range. If I choose 3M to limit the displayed data to three months?
