Advocate VChanging Slicer values between Weeks and Months
Hi all,
I currently have my reports split in two, where I show by week and by month views.
I tried to merge them into one using bookmarks and drilling through visuals. This resulted in having a "weekly" and "monthly" button selection that would change the view of the graphs accordingly. Below the example:
This worked for all the visuals apart from the Slicer on the top left of the screenshots that would not drill down/up nor allow a measure change.
Is there a way to have a slicer change between the week and month measures depending on bookmarks (or buttons or any other view)?
Thanks in advance
Hi, sgallo
Your solution using bookmarks is excellent; however, based on my understanding of your requirements, I would recommend using parameter fields instead.
1.Firstly, here is my original data:
2.Secondly, create a new column based on the original date column that spans weeks. Below is an example of my calculated column, which you can adjust according to your needs:
weekly1 = WEEKNUM('Table'[Date])weekly = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Date]),FILTER('Table','Table'[weekly1]=EARLIER('Table'[weekly1])))3.Next, take the month hierarchy from the original date column and combine it with the newly created calculated column as parameter fields, renaming them accordingly.
Parameter = { ("Weekly", NAMEOF('Table'[weekly]), 0), ("Monthly", NAMEOF('Table'[Date].[Month]), 1) }4.Then, modify the settings of the visual object:
5.Following that, create two slicers, adjusting the settings for one of them:
6.Here are the final results, which I hope will meet your needs:
7.Here is the relevant documentation:
