Filter a column dynamically using a measure

There is a column with FY i.e. "FY19","FY18","FY17" etc.

 

I Created a measure which calculates the current FY:

 

CurrFY = CONCATENATE("FY",IF(MONTH(TODAY()) <=3, VALUE(FORMAT(TODAY(),"YY")), VALUE(FORMAT(TODAY(),"YY")) +1))

e.g. output: "FY19"

 

 

Now i need to filter the report based on the FY column using the current FY i get from the CurrFY measure.

How do i do it?

 

Thanks

Hi @v-cherch-msft, Your solution somehow didn't work as a measure but works fine as a calculated column.

 

Created the calculated column as below:

FYFilter = IF(pipeline_summary_log_copy[FY] = [CurrFY], 1, 0)

Then i added it to the report level filter.

 

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous

 

You may create a measure as below and use it in visual level filter.

Measure = IF(MAX(Table1[FY])=[CurrFY],1)
