Date slicer preset

Hi,

 

I have a slicer in my report that is used to conveniently filter the data in my report. However, I want to add some presets:

- This month

- Last month

- This year

- Last year

 

etc

 

Is this possible in some way?

@michelp ,

 

Change your date slicer Range format to Relative and change the drop down for Last 1 year,Month etc.

Hi @Tahreem24 ,

 

If you want to avoid using Dax and still want to add these presets to your date slicer, I believe custom visuals are a way to go. I've recently come across a visual named Date Picker By Powerviz. It has all the presets you're looking for all it needs is the date from your data rest it calculates by itself.

Here is a link if you want to check this visual - https://shorturl.at/pAM18 (I believe they offer a free version too)
