DATEADD based on relative date number in page filter

Hi,

 

Is it possible to get DATEADD to be dynamic based on the number written manually in the filter?

 

So I have a relative date filter on the page showing last X days, and I want DATEADD to work like this:

 

DATEADD(
'Date'[Date],
- X,

DAYS

)

@Sperling , refer if these can help

 

same period based on date range
Last Period =
var _max =maxx(allseleceted(date),date[date])
var _min =maxx(allseleceted(date),date[date])
var datediff1 = datediff(_min,_max,day)
var _maxX = _max-datediff1
var _minX = _min -datediff1
return
CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),filter(all(date,date[date]<=_maxX &&date[date]>=_minX)))

Hi  @Sperling ,

I created some data:

For example:

To display the past X days of today, we can refer to a parameter to display by selecting the parameter.

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Modeling – New parameter.

2. Select parameters according to your needs.

3. Create measure.

Flag =
IF(MAX('Table'[Date])>=TODAY()-[Parameter Value]&&MAX('Table'[Date])<=TODAY(),1,0)

4. Place [Flag] in Filters, set is=1, apply filter.

5. Result:

If parameter selection is 5, the data of today and the previous 5 days will be displayed.

The following code works, but I'm not a big fan of the extra minus 1 in the DateAdded variable - maybe its just because thats the way the DATEDIFF works?
 
VAR DIFF =
DATEDIFF(
MIN('Date'[Date]),
MAX('Date'[Date]),
DAY
)

 

VAR DateAdded =
DATEADD(
'Date'[Date],
DIFF 1,
DAY
)

var _minX = _min -datediff1
return
