Issue in displaying date format
Hi,
I have a date format in a slicer like 202106 and 202405. I want to show these dates in an alphabetical way like
"June 2021 to May 2024".
I have data from the backend that starts from 1990 and ends in 2040 as a date range. When I try to select the date range if I change the minimum date it defaults to 1990 likewise with the maximum date range it defaults to 2040.
This is how it looks
I need to display the range as per my selection. can somebody help me out with this issue? Please

Hi Anonymous ,
Suppose we have:Please create a new measure:
Measure = CALCULATE(MIN('Date'[Month Year]),'Date'[Year Month]=MIN('Date'[Year Month])) & "-" & CALCULATE(MIN('Date'[Month Year]),'Date'[Year Month]=MAX('Date'[Year Month]))output:

Hi,
Please help me with this issue as you have given a solution and it worked halfway through my process.
to go in detail. here's belowl am using a default two year slicer along with the period slicer.
default two year is where I am displaying data for the last two years automatically if I reset in power bi service.
I have synced the normal date slicer and this two year default slicer.when I try to change the "To Date" it is by default showing the minimum date as below.
As in above usual date I have is 202405 in the "To Date", I have changed it to 202401.
after changing "From Date" defaulted to minimum date of my backend date from server.
Hi,
Could you be more specified in what range you want the period be seletced?
From what I understand from backend you have range from 1990 till 2040.
Also, how did you changed the minimum and maximum of the date range?
As shown in the screenshot
If I try to choose "To Date" which is 202405, currently we are in May 2024 which is the latest. It should display May 2024 instead of January 2040. Even if I choose any future dates from now, automatically it should replicate the selection which I made but, by default, it is choosing the max date which we have given at the backend level.
Likewise, the same with the "From Date". It defaults to 1990.
Also, I have made a custom date format which displays only the Year and month in the slicer.is this a text box?
Try to create a table and in the values put the earlist date and latest date:
Hi,
Yes, I have used text box for that to display the selected dates.
creating a table and used the date as you have mentioned. It didn't work out.my apologies, I might not be more specific about the issue. Let me try to explain clearly.
As I have taken a slicer(between[to be specific]) "from date" and "to date". If I try to change from date and entered a date, the "to date" automatically goes to 2040. Cause it is choosing the max date from the table .
Likewise, with the minimum date.
If I select any specific date either from or to date, I want to see the exact same dates to be displayed as the input.
Thanks in advance.
