Dynamically date query

Hi. In my database, I have 2 columns (date and production) filter by a single date slicer.
I would like to dynamically plot the 7 days back production data based on the single date slicer value. How can I do this?

For example
Slicer date selected: 7th apr 2021
Production data retrieve
1st apr
2nd apr
3rd apr
4th apr
5th apr
6th apr
7th apr

Hi @yslee ,

You can create a calendar table as a slicer to filter the data in Data table.

Calendar Date = CALENDAR(DATE(2021,04,01),DATE(2021,04,30))

 

Then create a measure to return the 7 days back production data.

last 7 days products = CALCULATE(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Product]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Date]>MAX('Calendar Date'[Date])-7 && 'Table'[Date]<=MAX('Calendar Date'[Date])))

 

The effect is as shown:

@yslee , if you select a date and plot more than that date , you need an independent date table https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44fGGmg9fHI
