    Hi Anonymous 

    We can achieve your goal by build a Calendar Table.

    Calendar = CALENDARAUTO()

    Build a relationship between Date in Table and Date in Calendar Table.

    Then use this table to build a Slicer.

    When you want to see the data between the next 6 month and the next 12 month, you can select the day between 2021/2/28 and 2021/8/31.

    Result:

     

    Currently, we can't use relative date slicer or filter to get the date between the dates in the future in power bi.

The way I solved this, was to add an extra column (should be able to do exactly the same with a measure but it wasn't working for me so I had to add a column), and the DAX I used was ShiftedDate = DATEADD('TableName'[DateField],6,MONTH), then I added that to the page filters and selected "in the last" and 6 and months - and this then gives you between 6 and 12 months.
