Hi there,
Suppose I have this dataset:
Date | Value |
2020-Sep | 95 |
2020-Dec | 94 |
2021-Mar | 102 |
2021-Jun | 119 |
2021-Sep | 118 |
2021-Dec | 101 |
2022-Mar | 180 |
2022-Jun | 204 |
2022-Sep | 178 |
2022-Dec | 193 |
2023-Mar | 352 |
2023-Jun | 358 |
I have a Slicer that selects the quarter (year-month). Is there a way I can select a quarter, and have it show the both selected quarter and the equivalent previous quarters? By example, how can I select 2023-Jun and get a bar graph showing all 'June' quarters?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @JamesR2D2 ,
Provide another way of thinking, Here I assume that the [Date] column is a text type.
Reference Table 1 in PowerQuery and create a table like this one.
Model:
Then create a new measure for the visual's filter.
Measure =
VAR _quarter = SELECTEDVALUE('Table2'[Date])
VAR _month = SELECTEDVALUE('Table2'[Month])
VAR _filter = IF(ISBLANK(_quarter) || MAX('Table1'[Date])=_quarter || RIGHT(MAX('Table1'[Date]),3)=_month,1)
RETURN
_filter
Output:
If [Date] is listed as a date type, the whole process is similar, and the date function is used at the end to determine the condition.

Thank you Gao, exactly what I needed. Cheers!
@JamesR2D2 , the slicer needs to be on an independent date/qtr table
Assume you have two tables with Quarter, Year, and Quarter Year
//Date1 is independent Date table, Date is joined with Table
new measure =
var _max = maxx(allselected(Date1),Date1[Quarter])
return
calculate( sum(Table[Value]), filter('Date', 'Date'[Quarter] =_max))

Show month names instead of Current Month Vs Last Month- https://youtu.be/x0DvPn1QeO4
Thanks amitchandak, this makes good sense now 🙂 Cheers
