Hello All,
I have a report that I need to switch between fortnight, month to date and 6month period to date(season). These time periods are based on a 445 calendar and are custom periods.
My Question is - can you have a button to switch between these time periods rather than create measures for each of them. Below are some of my measures:
Fortnight:
Hi @Anonymous ,
Have you test create a slicer table:
Slicer
Fortnight
Month
Season
Then use the below measure:
FTD Sales Budget =
IF (
SELECTEDVALUE ( Slicer[slicer] ) = "Fortnight",
CALCULATE (
[StaffedStoreBudget],
FILTER (
ALL ( BBCalendar ),
BBCalendar[Fortnight] = MAX ( BBCalendar[Fortnight] )
)
),
IF (
SELECTEDVALUE ( Slicer[slicer] ) = "Month",
IF (
HASONEVALUE ( BBCalendar[FISCALCALENDARYEAR] )
&& HASONEVALUE ( BBCalendar[MonthName] ),
CALCULATE (
'.Measures'[StaffedStoreBudget],
FILTER (
ALL ( BBCalendar ),
[FISCALCALENDARYEAR] = VALUES ( BBCalendar[FISCALCALENDARYEAR] )
&& BBCalendar[MonthName] = VALUES ( BBCalendar[MonthName] )
&& BBCalendar[Date] <= MAX ( BBCalendar[Date] )
)
),
BLANK ()
),
IF (
SELECTEDVALUE ( Slicer[slicer] ) = "Season",
IF (
HASONEVALUE ( BBCalendar[FISCALCALENDARYEAR] )
&& HASONEVALUE ( BBCalendar[MonthName] ),
CALCULATE (
'.Measures'[StaffedStoreBudget],
FILTER (
ALL ( BBCalendar ),
[FISCALCALENDARYEAR] = VALUES ( BBCalendar[FISCALCALENDARYEAR] )
&& BBCalendar[MonthName] = VALUES ( BBCalendar[MonthName] )
&& BBCalendar[Date] <= MAX ( BBCalendar[Date] )
)
),
BLANK ()
),
BLANK ()
)
)
)
Best Regards

Thanks Lucien,
But i need it to just be the time because I will have multiple values to change that sit in different table.
Budget - Sits in a budget Table
Sales - Sits in a Sales Table (different to the above)
etc.
So the idea would be I click MTD and it changes the value for sales and budget to the month to date.
This is exactly what i was after - just didnt know what it was called.
Thank you!
@Anonymous , Not very clear. Are you looking for a measure slicer?

following on from this.
Is there a way I can use the filter part of my calculate measure, as the slicer? This is what i have so far, trying to piece together different tutorials. the tutorial i was following creates a table that you can then use as the slicer:
