Dynamic filtering of rows using a parameter
Hello,
I have a table with two attributes: [order_dates] and [sales]. I want to filter rows fitting the following condition:
number of days between MAX(Order_Date) and order_date >= X.
X should be selected by the user through a parameter. The parameter must be visible on the report page.
That means, a query parameter cannot be used
I created a parameter table, which holds all possible values for X.
Then I created a calculated column as follows
Flag =
IF (
DATEDIFF ( 'data'[order_date]; [Latest_Order_Date]; DAY )
>= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'ParameterTable'[Value] );
"INCLUDE";
"EXCLUDE"
)
Latest_Order_Date is defined as follows:
Latest_Order_Date = MAXX ( ALL ( 'data' ); 'data'[order_date] )
Unfortunately this does not work. Whatever value I select in the parameter table has absolutely no effect. What I am doing wrong?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Klaus
Hi Klaus
You can try this...
1. Create a new calculated column (days)
days = DATEDIFF(Sales[OrderDate];MAX(Sales[OrderDate]);DAY)
2. Finally, Use it as an slicer. Look the picture below.
NOTE: The right side of the slicer must be in the right limit
I hope this helps

Thank you a lot!
You are right. In this case a parameter is absolutely not necessary.
Your suggestion works perfectly.
Kindest regards
