How to create a measure based on slicer selection

Hi,

 

I have a table that contains these values.. upto Oct 2040(monthyear)

A slicer is created on monthyear column.

-As per the slicer selection, I want to have a  measure that displays Oct 2022 if Oct2022 is selected in the slicer.

-As per the slicer selection, I want to have a  measure that displays Nothing if Dec2022 is selected in the slicer, as data wont be available currently for future years.

- As per the slicer selection, I want to have a  measure that displays Jan 2022 if Jan2022 is selected in the slicer, as data woould be present for the past.

Hi @Pallavi_m ,

 

If you create a relationship between your Period and Fact tables, the measure will naturally show blank if the month  selected in  period doesn't exist yet in your fact table. You can create a Month Year calculated colum in Fact, say

Month Year = FORMAT ( Fact[Date], "MMM YYYY" ) and then create relationship between this column and monthyear in Period.

Hi @Pallavi_m ,

 

Create a measure like below and add it to visual filter set value = 1.

Measure = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[monthyear]) in VALUES('calendar'[monthyear])&&DATEVALUE(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[monthyear]))<=EOMONTH(TODAY(),0),1,0)
