Fixed Time Buttons for Table

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

Could you help me how I can create this buttons on the picture? Basically, the requirement is when you click on the button on the report page, table should be updated with the selected option.  For instance, when clicking 24 hours, the table should be updated with last 24 hours data.  

Thank you, 

Yavuz

P.S. I can provide more information if needed

Hi @Anonymous,

May be you can try use the slicer like the following :

If this ok, create a measure as a dynamic tag and let it in filters pane.

Measure = 
var _2hours = NOW()-TIME(2,0,0)
var _12hours = NOW()-TIME(12,0,0)
var _24hours = NOW()-TIME(23,59,59)
var _weekhours = NOW()-TIME(23,59,59)*7
var _month = NOW()-TIME(23,59,59)*30
return
SWITCH(TRUE(),
SELECTEDVALUE(Button[button])="2 hours",_2hours,
SELECTEDVALUE(Button[button])="12 hours",_12hours,
SELECTEDVALUE(Button[button])="24 hours",_24hours,
SELECTEDVALUE(Button[button])="week",_weekhours,
SELECTEDVALUE(Button[button])="month",_month,TIME(0,0,0))

Measure 2 = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[DateTime])>=[Measure],1,BLANK())

If you want use button, bookmarks and slicer are used in combination. Bookmarks are linked to the specified slicer.

Pbix in the end you can refer.

I think this is better and faster way.

"If you want use button, bookmarks and slicer are used in combination. Bookmarks are linked to the specified slicer." So I created buttons, bookmarks and slicer, but some reason it does not update my table with last 2 hours or 24 hours when I clicked on buttons. Please tell me @v-chenwuz-msft  where I missed the point.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Button table, I created this table via enter data.

'IF>start' is the 'measure 2'.

When you write selectedvalue in measure( StartTime ), the value after the equal sign should be the value in your button table.

Now = Now()

Thank you, @v-chenwuz-msft again. I opened your file and started to create Button table. Now, I am on to write DAx formulas but my question is should I select my value from table when writing Selected Value. 

Measure = 
var _2hours = NOW()-TIME(2,0,0)
var _12hours = NOW()-TIME(12,0,0)
var _24hours = NOW()-TIME(23,59,59)
var _weekhours = NOW()-TIME(23,59,59)*7
var _month = NOW()-TIME(23,59,59)*30
return
SWITCH(TRUE(),
SELECTEDVALUE(Button[button])="2 hours",_2hours,
SELECTEDVALUE(Button[button])="12 hours",_12hours,
SELECTEDVALUE(Button[button])="24 hours",_24hours,
SELECTEDVALUE(Button[button])="week",_weekhours,
SELECTEDVALUE(Button[button])="month",_month,TIME(0,0,0))

Measure 2 = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[DateTime])>=[Measure],1,BLANK())

Thank you for replying. Here is my data if it makes more sense for help. I do not think Bookmark and button works for it. I know how to use bookmark and blank button, please can give me more specific idea  or other options ?
