Date to be automatically calculated from a selected date

Hi,

I monitor how many hours a machine was in production(working) and the hours it stopped and what the alarm was.  The machine has sensors in the different sections, and the alarm data shows the section in which the alarm was triggered.  We have a seperate report with only alarm information, but I need to see what happened before and after the alarm was triggered.

 

I need the following information between a certain date period, the alarm name, number of time alarm was triggered, and in which part of the machine.

 

I currently have a date slicer and select the dates manually, but would like to automate some of the date selection.

 

In the last row I explain what I would like to have

This is currently a between date slicerThis is currently a between date slicer
This data is before the alarm was triggered.  To compare data beforeThis is the 1st date of the alarm, which is manually selectedThis will be the 7th day after the alarm.  To compare date after

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Below is my current Power BI.  I select the 4 dates manually at the momement.  I would prefer to enter the date I am pointing to with the arrow only, and the rest must update manually.
