Helper IHow to Create a Date Parameter to Use on Dynamic Report?
bcosta98 - People usually use a slicer for that. It can even be a disconnected slicer table. You then just use SELECTEDVALUE or MAX to grab the value in the slicer. You could create a measure and edit the measure. You could hard code it into your formula. I don't have your PBIX file or any kind of vision in my head of what you are dealing with so it's hard to say exactly. Screen shots. Screen shots are good. Sample data. That's pretty good too. More details in general. Details are great.

Community Championbcosta98 - Just create a Calendar table using CALENDAR or CALENDARAUTO. Relate it to your data, use it in a slicer.
Helper IGreg_Deckler Actually, I started making some measures out of the now() functions because using slicers wasn't doint it for me. Therefore, I need to use an single value that I input on my measures and collumns, which I can modify.
