Date Filter

I need help.

I have a bar chart (measure x date (month / year) and I have a date filter to choose only one month. (Eg, I choose January / 2017)

My chart should only show me Measure x Date (until date chosen in the filter). Measurement values for February and March 2017 should be excluded from viewing.

 

My model has a fact and a time dimension bound by dd /mm/yyyy

 

I can share my desktop if anyone offers help on skype. You can add me.

my skype is thliberato

 

Thanks

If I understand correctly, I think you can create a calculated column in the time dimension table and use the column in a slicer.

 

YYYYMM = FORMAT('time dimension'[DATE],"MMM-YYYY")

Good afternoon.

 

Look at the example below.

I would like to select a specific month in the filter and both charts display the history until the selected month.

 

For exemplo, I select 10-October. 11 and 12 Should disappear from the graph.

Is the visual marked "Filter" a custom visualization?  With the standard "slicer" visualization in PBI, you can change it to a date range slider:

In the rop right there will be options of "between", "before", "after" etc.  It's not quite as elegant as the Excel-style slicer that you show, but may serve your purposes.

 

Hope this helps

It should, as long as the date table in the filter has proper relationship with the data table.

@Eric_Zhang, this is the relationship.

 

I did not understand your suggestion to solve the problem.

I want to select a month in the filter, and my chart shows the history until the month chosen in the chart.

Could you post a sample pbix for testing?
