Custom slier values that filter/slice data source table using custom contidions

[gsrikar33]

Hello Team,

Requirement - To create a slicer that will slice the table visual based on date/time columns. The slicer should have custom values.

shift 1 - should filter all the values for today between 00-23:59 UTC

shift 2 - should filter all values for today between 22-23:59 UTC

              and tomorrow between 00-10 UTC

Work Done:

I initially tried to do this in the SQL query(used to import the data source) itself by creating an extra column 'Shift' and assigning values [shift1,shift2] based on conditions.

Problem with this approach is, there is overlaping. Meaning, some records has to appear in both shifts.

So, I need to get this done in PBI itself.

Below is the sample of PBi design that I'm trying to achieve.

I am thinking of creating CALCULATEDTABLEs for each shift and use bookmarks to show the desired table upon selected slicer option. But this is slightly clumsy.

Is there a simple was to achieve this?

Hi, @gsrikar33 

Regarding the issue you raised, my solution is as follows:

1.First I have created the following table and the column names and data are the data you have given:

2.You need to create the following calculated table and use it as a slicer, ensuring that the slicer does not directly affect the original data. 

ShiftSelection = DATATABLE("Shift", STRING, {{"Shift 1"}, {"Shift 2"}})

3. Below are the measure I've created for your needs:

Shift1Filter = 
VAR SELECT1 =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'ShiftSelection'[Shift] )
VAR SHIFT1 =
    IF (
        MAX ( 'Table'[Due Date] ) >= TODAY ()
            && MAX ( 'Table'[ETD Date] )
                < TODAY () + 1,
        1,
        0
    )
VAR SHIFT2 =
    IF (
        MAX ( 'Table'[Due Date] ) = TODAY ()
            && MAX ( 'Table'[Due Time (Z)] ) >= TIME ( 22, 0, 0 )
            && (
                MAX ( 'Table'[ETD Date] ) = TODAY ()
                    || MAX ( 'Table'[ETD Date] )
                        = TODAY () + 1
                        && MAX ( 'Table'[ETD Time (Z)] ) <= TIME ( 10, 0, 0 )
            ),
        1,
        0
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        ISFILTERED ( 'ShiftSelection'[Shift] ),
        IF ( SELECT1 = "Shift 1", SHIFT1, SHIFT2 ),
        1
    )

4.Apply measure to visual object filters.

5.Here's my final result, which I hope meets your requirements.
