How to combine 2 date expression into 1 ?

Hi All

 

My Date have 2 different expression :-

 

Expression 1 :-

DATE =
CALENDAR(Date(2003,01,01),date(2021,12,31))
 
Expression 2 :- 
DATE =
CALENDAR ( "2003,1,1", TODAY() )
 
May i know how to combine above 2 expression into ? Some thing look like below :-
 
DATE =
1=CALENDAR(Date(2003,01,01),date(2021,12,31))
2=CALENDAR ( "2003,1,1", TODAY() )
 
So that i can use Slicer to switch for expression 1 or 2

    Just as amitchandak said, that's not available. But you can use measure to select any Calendar table you want, for example,

    when you select Date1, then measure will do calculations by using table Date1, and if you select Date2, then the measure will do calculations by using table Date2.

    Measure = 
        var _Date= SELECTEDVALUE(Slicer[Column1])
        var _CalculationForDate1= CALCULATE(MAX(DATE1[Date]),ALL(DATE1))
        var _CalculationForDate2= CALCULATE(MAX(DATE2[Date]),ALL(DATE2))
    return 
        IF(_Date="Date1",_CalculationForDate1,IF(_Date="Date2",_CalculationForDate2))

  • admin11 , I think you can not. You can add additional flag column

     

    Addcolumns( CALENDAR ( Date(2003,01,01), TODAY() ) , "Flag", if([Date]>= Date(2003,01,01) && [Date]<= date(2021,12,31) , 1,0))

      I get error msg below :-

      The expression refers to multiple columns. Multiple columns cannot be converted to a scalar value.
