Help with filter data

[Anonymous]

Hello. I'm new in PBI and my englihs is not good.
I need a date filter to:

this month; (for example: 01/07/20 - today)
last 3 months; (01/05/20 - today)
last 6 months; (01/02/20 - today)
last 9 months; (01/11/19 - today)
last 12 months; (01/08/19 - today)
this year; (01/01/20 - today)
last year; (01/01/19 - 31/12/19)
select all.

I created each of these columns in the calendar table, and the value will be calculated according to the selected filter, which causes the calculation to occur with each filter selection, which slows down the process, not to mention that I had to create an auxiliary table for the filter. I suppose there is a way to optimize this.
Can someone help me?

Hi @Anonymous 

You could consider relative date slicer:

Hello @v-juanli-msft. This filter, although very good, does not exactly meet what my manager asked. But thanks for the tip. Hug!

@Anonymous , not very clear. But you can use time intelligence

MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
Rolling 3= CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date],max(Sales[Sales Date]),-3,MONTH))  
Rolling 6= CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date],max(Sales[Sales Date]),-6,MONTH))  
Rolling 9= CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date],max(Sales[Sales Date]),-9,MONTH)) 
Rolling 12= CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date],max(Sales[Sales Date]),-12,MONTH)) 
YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"))
This year Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR('Date'[Date]),"12/31"))
Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"12/31"))
Last year Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year)),"12/31"))

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :
