I have a dataset that has multiple different date calculations on the same row.
Date1,2,3,etc. There are 12 separate date differential calculations between about 6-8 different date columns on the same row.
Is there a way to calculate all of those separate calculations then wrap into a slicer? I tried unpivoting but this will only display the actual date and not the calculation. I have it running properly another way but everything is on separate tabs. I included an example of what I am trying to do as I am probably not detailing it very well.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Here is a DAX version of @ahadkarimi 's answer. (The power query version is way easier for larger datasets.)
categoryTable =
var _t1 =
SELECTCOLUMNS(
surveyTable,
"_survey", [Survey],
"_category", "cat1",
"_value", DATEDIFF([Date1], [Date2], DAY)
)
var _t2 =
SELECTCOLUMNS(
surveyTable,
"_survey", [Survey],
"_category2", "cat2",
"_value", DATEDIFF([Date1], [Date3], DAY)
)
var _t3 =
SELECTCOLUMNS(
surveyTable,
"_survey", [Survey],
"_category3", "cat3",
"_value", DATEDIFF([Date2], [Date4], DAY)
)
Return
UNION(_t1, _t2, _t3)

I want to try the first solution because that will clean up some of the calculations. Will get back today with response. Thanks for your help.

Hi @common763,
Create Calculated Columns for each date difference (e.g., Date1 - Date2, Date1 - Date3, etc.).
Unpivot the Calculated Columns in Power Query to create a long format table.
Use the unpivoted column names as your slicer/filter.
So you can select different date calculations in a slicer.
