How to create a Parameter to display data dynamically

Hello Experts,

 

I have a date field. I want to display data dynamically so that whenever User selects particular date, data should be filtered accordingly.

I created a Date parameter (transform data-> New Parameter) with some Values and joined (Many to One) with the actual table.

 

Now I am trying to create a calculation 

Flag Current Month=YEAR(Table[Date]) = YEAR(Paramter table[Date])

 Here I'm unable to select the Parmater Date as they are not populating.

 

Am i missing something or is there any other way to create the flags CM, PM, CY, PY etc.

 

Thanks in advance

@Kumar_0606 You need to create calculated fields to flag the current month, previous month, current year, and previous year based on the selected date parameter.

 

FlagCurrentMonth =
IF(
YEAR(Table[Date]) = YEAR(SELECTEDVALUE(ParameterTable[Date])) &&
MONTH(Table[Date]) = MONTH(SELECTEDVALUE(ParameterTable[Date])),
1,
0
)

 

FlagPreviousMonth =
IF(
YEAR(Table[Date]) = YEAR(SELECTEDVALUE(ParameterTable[Date])) &&
MONTH(Table[Date]) = MONTH(SELECTEDVALUE(ParameterTable[Date])) - 1,
1,
0
)

 

FlagCurrentYear =
IF(
YEAR(Table[Date]) = YEAR(SELECTEDVALUE(ParameterTable[Date])),
1,
0
)

 

FlagPreviousYear =
IF(
YEAR(Table[Date]) = YEAR(SELECTEDVALUE(ParameterTable[Date])) - 1,
1,
0
)

 

Make sure that your parameter table is properly linked to your main table. The SELECTEDVALUE function is used to get the value of the parameter selected by the user.

Hello Gautam,

Thanks for the reply.

I created Current Month flag as you suggested and created a column like

Amount CM= IF ([Flag Current Month]=1 && Table[Version]="New", [Amount]))

When i pulled this to the table, getting Blank value.
