How to create a relative date slicer using direct query
I'm creating a report which is directly querying the source.
I've come to realise that date hierarchies are not a thing in direct query. I need to use direct query because we're using RLS to filter the data at the MS SQL source.
I have created a custom date hierarchy with year, month, and day within and can assign this to a slicer; however, this doesn't give me the desired result.

How do I create a relative date slicer from a 'date' field which looks like the below?
Hi DamianMcc ,
You can place the Date field directly on the slicer visual object.
If your original data is in the Year, Month, and Day columns, then you can create a Calculated column.
DateColumn = [Year]& "/" & [Month] & "/" & [Day]You can place the DateColumn field directly on the slicer visual object.
