Custom date range in Line chart from slicer selection

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I would like some help on this one as I cannot figure it out.

I have a regular date range slicer for Date. 

I want to show the last 3 month from the max selected date in the slicer (not current date). I want to show the results in a line chart. 

Ex. Selected Slicer Value: 2020-07-01, the range in line chart shows 2020-05-02 to 2020-07-01

I have the following calculation but the line chart is still showing for the full date range:

Sales Last 60 d = 
var Ldate = MAX('Date'[Date]) //Last date
var Fdate = (Ldate-60) // last 60 days
return
calculate([Sales Total], 
    FILTER (
        Sales,
        RELATED('Date'[Date]) >= Fdate )))
 

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous ,

We can create a date table and a measure to meet your requirement.

The date table has no relationship with sales table.

1. Create a date table to be a slicer.

Date = CALENDAR("2020/1/1","2020/8/1")

2. Then we can create a measure.

Sales Last 60 d = 
var _SelectDate = SELECTEDVALUE('Date'[Date])
var _Fdate = _SelectDate-60
var _result = 
calculate(
    SUM('Sales table'[Sales]), 
    FILTER (
        'Sales table',
        'Sales table'[Date]<=_SelectDate && 'Sales table'[Date] >=_Fdate))
return
IF(
    ISBLANK(_SelectDate),SUM('Sales table'[Sales]),_result)

If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please show the exact expected result based on the table that we have shared?

BTW, pbix as attached.

@Anonymous - My Complex Selector quick measure provides an example of this scenario almost exactly.
