Line graph show first date of the month till last date of the month by filter

[deckamaha]

I have a question.

Suppose that i have a single date filter/slicer, and i have a line graph like above.

So if i choose 1-October-2017 on the filter, then the line graph will show data from Date 1-Oct-2017 till 31-Oct-2017.

Or if i choose 1-December-2016 on the filter, then the line graph will show data from Date 1-Dec-2016 till 31-Dec-2016.

How can i do that in power BI? should i manage the table relationship? or is there any other trick to do that?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I did the same steps, I created two tables : table 1 (with the columns: date, sales, month and year) and table date.
I used the measure that you put, but it shows me a a single date filter/slicer' a single value in the graph' like above !! Thanks for your help

Hi @deckamaha,

I try to reproduce your scenario using the sample table below.



First, you need to create a new date table only have the date column using the formula by click "New Table" under Modeling on home page.

Date = SELECTCOLUMNS(Table1,"Date",Table1[Date])

Then create a measure using the formula.

Measure =
CALCULATE (
    MAX ( Table1[sale] ),
    FILTER ( Table1, Table1[Month] = MONTH ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Date'[Date] ) ) )
)

Finally, create a slicer including 'Date'[Date], a line chart including [Date] and measure. When you select 1-October-2017 on the slicer, the line graph will show data from Date 1-Oct-2017 till 31-Oct-2017 as follows.



Please respond to me if you have any other problems.
