Dynamically Filter a Calendar Table based on Start & End Date from Slicer
I am trying to use the 'MonthNameLong' and 'Year' from a disconnected table but I don't know the best practice and/ or simplest way. The end user will select both to act as the end date, and another ...
I forgot to mention a critical part of why I didn't use the Calendar Table for the slicers:
I was not able to get this formula to create a line chart with the running totals (filtered YTD December 2010):
Departures Running Total =
CALCULATE(
[Count YTD],
FILTER(
ALL('Calendar'[Date]),
ISONORAFTER('Calendar'[Date], MAX('Calendar'[Date]), DESC)
)
)
I need this chart to scale and show only the running total for a given interval, in this example of YTD: 1/1/2010 to 12/31/2010. The running total needs to capture the ending value as a starting point to sum the running total each period until the end date. So for example if 12/31/2009 had a total accumulated total of 59, then the line chart would need to start at 59 on 1/1/2010, incrementing until the end date of 12/31/2010.
shubuya - Since you are considering values from previous years, you don't want to use a YTD calculation. You're looking for something more like:
Departures Running Total =
var displaydate = MAX('Calendar'[Date])
return
CALCULATE(
<Count Measure (Not YTD)>,
'Calendar'[Date] <= displaydate
)Thanks for your help - I think I am close, but when I use the formula you provided the chart is not scaling to show the dates 1/1/2015 to 12/31/2015. How do I edit your formula to only show that date interval?
shubuya - The Year and Month for the Slicers and for the Line chart all need to come from the Date table.
