Dynamic Selection N Days Prior to Date
I have a dataset that has a table of records with start and end dates and a period table that has the start and end dates of each period. I have a set of flag measures that creates a dynamic filter to show only active records that fit between a selected start and end date. Now what I need to do is have another option for the user to select N days before the start of the period and show active records based on that. I've been trying to use something like this:
Measure = DATEADD(Calendar[Date], SelectedValue(NDays), DAY)
*NDays would be the value a user would select in a slicer
So far this hasn't worked for me but I'm sure there is a way to do this. Any ideas?
You can have measure like
10 Days behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],10,DAY))
You can use what if measure

N Days behind Sales =
var _max =max(Whatif[Whatifmeasure])
return
CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],_max,DAY))
