Measure with parameter

[pstanek]

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.

@pstanek Easiest thing to do is to drag your [Date] field to either the Visual or Page Level Filter

This way you can change the Date range for only the selected Visualization or the whole page

then click advanced filtering and select the dates from the calendar

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,

Nate

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.
