Historized dataset: picking reference date in DAX between valid_from and valid_to
Hi,
I bring historized data into Power BI in the following format:
Contract_ID | Valid_from | Valid_to |
1 | 17.2.2019 | 29.3.2019 |
1 | 30.3.2019 | 31.12.9999 |
2 | 10.1.2019 | 31.12.9999 |
The end-user would like to have the ability to pick a reference date and have the report reflect the sitaution on the chosen reference date. The desired logic is the following: Valid_from <= Reference Date <= Valid_to
For example:
- picking reference date 18.2.2019 would mean that the first and the third rows are valid
- picking reference date 1.4 would mean that the second and third rows are valid
This could be done with a query parameter, but parameters are not acceptable as they can currently only be changed in Power BI Desktop (instead of Service / Report Server).
Is there a way to do this in DAX with a single date slicer without using query parameters?
Thanks for the help!
Hi Anonymous,
Try this, where Table1 is the table you show:
1. Place Table1[Contract_ID] in the rows of a table/matrix visual
2. Let's assume Slicer[Date] is the name of the slicer you are using. Create this measure:
ShowMeasure = IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( Slicer[Date] ) >= SELECTEDVALUE ( Table1[Valid_from] ) && SELECTEDVALUE ( Slicer[Date] ) <= SELECTEDVALUE ( Table1[Valid_to] ), 1 )3. Place [ShowMeasure] in the visual level filters and choose Show if value is -> 1

Unfortunately this seems to work only with tables or a matrix.
Is there a way to do this on the page or report level?
