Filter table visual based on closest date to slicer in power bi

[armehraban]

I have a table and a slicer (showing today’s date by default).  I want when a user select a date from slicer, the table shows the closest date (date column in the table visual) to the selected in slicer.

I tried to create a measure that shows max date less than selected date in slicer:

Also a filter that shows which records should show and which is not:

Filter = IF(FORMAT('BankCard AccountSummary'[Date], "dd/MM/YYYY") = FORMAT([max dates], "dd/MM/YYYY") ,1,0)

And used that filter in filter section.

The “max dates” shows me the correct number but when I want to compare it with date column in the table visual, the filter measure doesn’t show correct data.

I tried to convert both “max dates” and date column to the same format both still didn’t work.

Hi @armehraban 

Use the following Dax to get the "max date" column

max date = 
VAR SelectedDate = SELECTEDVALUE('Start Date'[Date])
VAR ClosestDate =
    CALCULATE(
        MAX('Table'[Date]),
        FILTER(
            ALL('Table'),
            'Table'[Date] <= SelectedDate
        )
    )
RETURN
    IF(
        MIN('Table'[Date]) <= SelectedDate,
        ClosestDate,
        BLANK()
    )

Use the following Dax to get the "Date Difference Measure" column

Date Difference Measure = 
VAR SelectedDate = SELECTEDVALUE('Start Date'[Date])
VAR ClosestDateMeasure =
    CALCULATE(
        MAX('Table'[Date]),
        FILTER(
            ALL('Table'),
            'Table'[Date] <= SelectedDate
        )
    )
RETURN
    DATEDIFF(ClosestDateMeasure, MAX('Table'[Date]), DAY)

Use the following Dax to get the "Date Format Match Measure" column

Date Format Match Measure = 
IF (
    FORMAT(MAX('Table'[Date]), "dd/mm/yyyy") = FORMAT([max date], "dd/mm/yyyy"),
    1,
    0
)

This is the result you want
