Dynamic DAX date table based on a reference date from a Filter

Hi,

 

I am trying to create a dynamic date table in DAX with calcualted dates based on a in a filter selected reference date. 

 

Let's say the selected reference date in the filter visual is 15/05/2022 based on the selected vale from column 'Filter_Date'[Date] in the date table.

 

Using this reference date, I want to calculate a date table with a few calcualted dates. To be included dates in the calculated table should simply be

 

selecteddate, selecteddate - 7 days, selecteddate-14 days etc. 

 

Output table would look like the below

 

CALCULATED DATE

15/05/2022

08/05/2022

01/05/2022

....

 

Ultimatelty I want to use the column in a visual as the legend values.

    frankGB , You have to create a measure and filter

     

    calculate(sum(Table[Value]), filter(Table, Mod(Datediff(selectedvalue(Date[Date]), Date[Date], day),7) =0))

     

    or

     

    calculate(sum(Table[Value]), filter(Table, Mod(Datediff(selectedvalue(Date[Date]), Date[Date], day)+1,7) =0))

    I was hoping I can create a table rather then measures for each of the calculated days then.

     

    Are you aware of any soltion for a table?

      Hi frankGB ,

       

      Is this table a calculated table? If so, it is not possible. The calculation table is calculated when the model is refreshed, and user operations on the report do not affect the calculated table. (e.g. using a slicer)

      Hope this will help you.

       

      Best Regards,
      Gao

        yes, it is a calculated table. I could also create it as a static table in M and then probably do the Max and Min calculations based on a reference date to find the dates to be included in the visual. 

         

        I'll give that a try.
