Hierarchy Slicer

Hi Everyone,

 

I have a Hierarchy slicer with YEAR,MONTH,DAY as order. My slicer looks like below :

 

The Columns I used are :

MaxDate = CALCULATE(MAX(vw_ConsumerFXVar[ExchangeRateDate]), ALL(vw_ConsumerFXVar))

 

CurrentDay = IF(vw_ConsumerFXVar[ExchangeRateDate] = vw_ConsumerFXVar[MaxDate], "Current", vw_ConsumerFXVar[Day] )

 

When ever new data comes in, the slicer changes to new date and I am renaming the new date to Current Date.

The issue I am facing is :

When it comes to new month, the slicer is not changing. I mean if the current date = '2018-03-31' and when it reaches to April, the slicer is not changing to April automatically.

 

Can someone help me with this.

 

Thank You

    Hi pxg08680,

     

    If I understand correctly, what you want to achieve is such a scenario: the slicer is selecting '2018-03-31' because it is current date, when dates update, the current date becomes '2018-04-01', the selected item should be automatically changed to '2018-04-01' rather than '2018-03-31'.

     

    Is that right? However, it is not possible to achieve such a requirement. The slicer selection can only be changed manually.

     

    Regards,

      --> Right now my slicer changes automatically. Today I have a sclier selection with 4/16/2018(Current) and when my report refreshes tomorrow it changes to 4/17/2018(which is current date for tomorrow).

      The issues comes only when there is a change of month. 

      Ex: Current selection is 3/31/2018 and tomorrow after refresh it should change to 4/1/2018. But this is not happening.

       

       

       

      I am not sure if I am explaining the scenario correctly. Appologies.!
