DAX examples that default to the current year month and then allow a user to select any year month

[MikeSolvesBI]

Hello,

Are three any good examples with DAX Date Calculations for the following:

1. Have a Year Month Slicer.

2. When there is no selection in the Year Month Slicer default to the current Year Month

3. Allow the user to select a Year Month (Jan-2023) and then use the Year Month in all the Calculations

Thank You,

Michael

This is the standard pattern for your request:

- create a string representation of your date column, replace the latest date with a string "Latest"
- sort that new column by the original date column
- add a slicer or visual/page/report level filter
- set the filter to "Latest"
- publish the pbix to the workspace/app
