How to set my Slicer Date with only existing date

Hello!

 

I created a table using CalendarAuto, so, when I create a Slicer to see the date, it shows me all Years/months/days available.

 

How do I set my Slicer Date with only Years/Months/Days that existis in my personal Dataset?

 

Ps: I already tried put the date column that I have in my personal dataset as filter to the slicer, selecting "is not blank or empty", but it didn't help me at all.

Hello @LucasCamargo ,

Hi Idris, thank you for the attention.

It kinda works, but not properly still.

If i select only the "Date" box, it shows me only the existing dates in my database, but when I select the month on Date Hierarchy, It still shows me all the 12 months, even don't having all of them on my database.

 

Hello @LucasCamargo ,

 

Yes because it takes the minimum of your data and max and gives you everything in between, if you need only the dates you have then you could use the column you have in your date table and add month, year and day columns to it.

 

Year = Year('Youtablename' [Date])
Month = format ( 'Youtablename' [Date], "mmmm")

Day = Day ( 'Youtablename' [Date])

Thank you again Idris, I thought the "Date Hieararchy" had this filter by itself, but the way you put above worked.

The only thing is: before all that, I had an Excel Sheet with 2023 dates. Using an external database, I used Power Query to create a "week of month" column and structered it so that it started the week on Monday (Power BI normally starts weeks on Sundays).


Is it possible to create a Week of Month like that, without using Power Query? (Using the table I created with you step-by-step)
