    Hi Anonymous ,

    No worries. Yes that can be done. 
    Just create a new measure like below :

     

    _val =

    var _sel = SELECTEDVALUE(dates[Dates])

    var _cond = if (MAX(SampleData[Date]) >= _sel-13 && MAX(SampleData[Date]) <= _sel , 1, 0)

    return
    _cond
     
    Then add this measure as a filter on the visual and set its value to 1

    Kind regards,

    Rohit

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. But when I do the same thing, I don't get the same results.
I even made the same dummy data as you did to check. I created _val in the second table 
This is what happens.


I don't know why _dtmin and _dtmax are taking the selected dates because i did - _dtmin = MIN(SampleData[Date}) 


Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong please? Thank you

Hi Anonymous ,

Create the measures as follows :

1) _dtmax = SELECTEDVALUE(dates[Dates])
2) _dtmin =

var _sel = [_dtmax]

var _mindt =
CALCULATE(
min(SampleData[Date]),
filter(SampleData,
SampleData[Date] = _sel -13
)
)
Return
_mindt
 
3)  _val =

var _sel = SELECTEDVALUE(dates[Dates])

var _cond = if (MAX(SampleData[Date]) >= _sel-13 && MAX(SampleData[Date]) <= _sel , 1, 0)

return
_cond

    Hey, thanks for the reply. I did exactly as told. But even then when I select 27th, I see all the values.
