Create filtered table based on selected date
- Anonymous7 years ago
The issue is that you have created a calculated table. Tables are static, and are only evaluated when the underlying dataset is refreshed...they do NOT update in response to any cross filtering, slicer selection, etc.
So, your code is doing exactly what you told it to: since there is no filter context for the SELECTEDVALUE(), it returns the default value of 2019/01/01.
You can create a measure like this:
PricesValidForSelectedDate = VAR SelectedDate = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Calendar'[Date_ID]; DATE ( 2019; 1; 1 ) ) VAR FilteredPrices = FILTER ( ALL ( Prices[ValidFromDate]; Prices[ValidToDate] ); 'Prices'[ValidFromDate] <= SelectedDate && 'Prices'[ValidToDate] >= SelectedDate ) VAR Result = CALCULATE ( MIN ( Prices[Price Column] ); FilteredPrices ) VAR Check = IF ( HASONEVALUE ( Prices[<Granular Column>] ); Result ) RETURN CheckSelectedDate is just as you wrote it.
FilteredPrices uses a more optimized table. You only need to scan the unique combinations for [ValidFrom] and [ValidTo], you don't need to scan every single row in the prices table (which, when expanded, could produce a large table in memory).
Result returns the price when you have a single product in the the filter context. I'm guessing you're putting Product on the rows of your table?
Check just makes sure that you display a blank in the subtotal or grand total section of your table/matrix. Make sure that <Granular Column> is whatever you're putting in the table.
Hope this helps,

Thank you for your replies, Anonymous and Ashish_Mathur!.
I didn't know that a calculated table isn't affected by slicers, so now I finally understand the problem.
There are three different price columns I want to display per category, which is why I hoped there would be a way to calulate the whole table dynamically based on the slicer. I created a measure for each price column with the script Anonymous suggested, and this gives the result I wanted.
Thank you for your help, I'm so relieved!
