Filtering a map based on time period from a slicer

[elliotb]

Hi All,

I have a dataset that contains a column called date. Currently I am plotting this data set on a map based on zip code. I would like to add functionality so that the map only display points where the date falls into the selected range:

i.e when the slicer says:

LTD: Shows all points(Launch to Date)

YTD: Shows all points where date is in current year

MTD: Shows all points where data is in current month

Q1: Shows all points where data is between 1/1/2021-4/1/2020 etc.

Is there a way to do this easily? I was thinking I could create a measure that is a binary that switches to 1 - 0 depending on what the time period selected in the slicer is but I haven't been able to figure it out. I have already experimented with the Timeline 2.4.0 custom visual and while this works this isn't exactly the functionality I am looking for.

Hi @elliotb ,

According to your description, I think you are going to show maps of different periods by filtering LTD, YTD, MTD and Q1.

Here's my solution.

Sample data

1.Create a seperate table by entering data.

2.Create a calendar table.

Date = CALENDAR(MIN('Table (2)'[date]),MAX('Table (2)'[date]))

3.Relationships is as follows.

4.Create a flag measure. Put it into the map visual and set show items when the value is 1.

flag = 
VAR _DATE =
    MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )
VAR _TODAY =
    TODAY ()
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Period] ),
        "LTD", 1,
        "YTD", IF ( YEAR ( _DATE ) = YEAR ( _TODAY ), 1 ),
        "MTD",
            IF ( YEAR ( _DATE ) = YEAR ( _TODAY ) && MONTH ( _DATE ) = MONTH ( _TODAY ), 1 ),
        "Q1",
            IF ( _DATE >= DATE ( 2020, 4, 1 ) && _DATE <= DATE ( 2021, 1, 1 ), 1 )
    )

5.Now you can filter by the slicer.

@elliotb , with help from a date table 

MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))

Qtr Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESQTD(ENDOFQUARTER('Date'[Date])))

YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"))

LYTD =

var _max = maxx(allselected('Date', Date[Date])

return

CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),filter(all(date),date[date] <=_max ))
