Custom Date Slicer

Hello!  I am wanting to create a slicer/filter of a date.  I want to create an option of

1) Past 3 months

2) Past 6 months

3) Past 12 months

4) All Data

 

How do I go about doing this?  I wanted to do a relative date filter, but I do not want to show days and weeks.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @nataliesmiy1357 -Please create a calculated column in your date table as below:

Date Range Filter =
VAR TodayDate = TODAY()
VAR Past3Months = EDATE(TodayDate, -3)
VAR Past6Months = EDATE(TodayDate, -6)
VAR Past12Months = EDATE(TodayDate, -12)
RETURN
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    'Date'[Date] >= Past3Months, "Past 3 Months",
    'Date'[Date] >= Past6Months, "Past 6 Months",
    'Date'[Date] >= Past12Months, "Past 12 Months",
    "All Data"
)

This is a great start!  But I need the Past6Months to include the Past3Months as well - how is that possible?
