@shashankg Yes, as measures:

MinDate = MIN('Table'[Date])

MaxDate = MAX('Table'[Date])

 

Inside a measure:

VAR __MinDate = MIN('Table'[Date])

VAR __MaxDate = MAX('Table'[Date])

@Greg_Deckler Thanks for your reply,

MIN('Table'[Date]) and  MAX('Table'[Date]) gives values from the table. I don't want values from table. for eg, as shown in image,

I want

var 1 = "Last 1 weeks"

var2 =  11/18/2021

var3 = 11/24/2021

These values are coming from relative date slicer.

Hi @shashankg 

 

Unfortunately, Power bi doesn't support this feature currently, you can't get the value which doesn't exist in your table.

The slicer is just another way of filtering, which can only filter based on the values you already have.
