Dynamic filter by slicer
Hello to the forum,
I have a question.
1) My data
I have the Orders and Calendar tables in Power BI Desktop. Both are linked by a 1-n relationship:
My data model
In the Orders table I have the following data:
Table "Orders"
2) My report (how it should be)
I want to generate the following report:
In a slicer, the user selects a specific date. In a further slicer, he can then set how many days he would like to look into the past, starting from the selected date. (Here I use a numeric parameter.)
Here is an example:
If the user selects 04/10/2023 and wants to look 7 days into the past, then the line chart should show:
An example report
In the line chart, the days 03.04. – 04/10/2023 are displayed.
(In the example, I filtered the diagram by hand.)
Does anyone have an idea how I can implement this?
Greetings
Jan_Trummel Try something below. Note, assumes disconnected tables for slicers. PBIX is attached below signature.
Measure = VAR __Date = MAX('Dates'[Date]) VAR __DaysBack = [Parameter Value] VAR __OrderDate = MAX('Orders'[Order date]) VAR __Result = IF(__OrderDate <= __Date && __OrderDate >= __Date - __DaysBack, SUM('Orders'[Sales]), BLANK()) RETURN __Result

Greg_Deckler It works great, thank you very much!

This would be exactley what I need.
