Measure where Today is max date from Slicer

[BugmanJ]

Hello,

I am currently calculating the last 7 days of sale from Today

Prior 7 Days Sales = ((CALCULATE (

    SUM([Total Sales]),'Sales Table'[Day Date] > today()-8))-(CALCULATE (

    SUM([Total Sales]),'Sales Table'[Day Date] = today())))/7

This works fine, but I have now a need to dynamically change the "today" part to be something from a slicer. E.g. I can drag the slicer to 06th July and I need to calcualte the last 7 days of sale from then.

What do I need to change to have something changes depending on the max date in the slicer?

I have a date table controlling the data

Thank you

Hi @BugmanJ ,

Please update the formula of measure [Prior 7 Days Sales] as below and check if it can return your expected result...

Prior 7 Days Sales =
(
(
CALCULATE (
SUM ( [Total Sales] ),
'Sales Table'[Day Date]
> MAX ( 'slicertable'[Date] ) - 8
)
)
- (
CALCULATE (
SUM ( [Total Sales] ),
'Sales Table'[Day Date] = MAX ( 'slicertable'[Date] )
)
)
) / 7

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.
