Measure with parameter
Is it possible to create measure with Parameter.
For example
pcena = Calculate(
SUM(movement[pcena]);
FILTER(movement; movement[date] >= DATE(2016;3;14) && movement[date] <=DATE(2016;4;30)))
If I want to change dates, I will have to create another measure.
It would be nice to have
pcena(start,end) = Calculate(
SUM(movement[pcena]);
FILTER(movement; movement[date] >= start && movement[date] <=end)).
Evaluation would be
pcena(DATE(2016;3;14) ,DATE(2016;4;30)).

Hi Pstanek,
According to your description, you need to add parameters to the DAX expression when creating a measure, right?
Based on my research, referencing parameters is currently supported via the Data Source dialogs, Filter Rows, Keep Rows (top/bottom, etc.), Remove Rows (top/bottom, etc.) and Replace Values. So it seems that it is not supported to use a parameter in measure.

Have you tried using a Slicer for this? There is a custom Visual that will most likely help you out on this. You can down load the custom visual here. To learn more about the Timeline Slicer, you can read about it here.
Also, if you want this parameter to only influnce one visual, then you can use the Visual Interactions options to control that as well.
Hope this helps,

No, I am a beginner. I think It can be usefull. I guess it will only work for time parameters. I am keen to see, if can be used separatety for each page within the report.
But thanks, very much.
