I have a number of pages in my Power BI report that display counts and sums of data from tables imported by a couple of different systems. I change the date range in the filters of each object to match the most recent week (used for meeting presentation). Before the meeting I go into each object and set the new date range. Since my pages combine various counts and sums for two different data sets, I can't simply set the date range on the page or the report. This seems like a great place to have a global variable for StartWeekDate and EndWeekDate. Change them once someplace and use the variable in my filters. I understand that this is not possible but haven't been creative enough to figure out how to do something similar. Is there a way in a measure using DAX to pull the start and end dates from a simple temp table where I can edit it each week?
Sounds like you should have a single date table in your model that has a relationship to the other tables. You then apply the filter to the date table and it'll filter all tables.
