One table, 2 date slicers that work as an "or" not "and"

[smileamile2]

I have two date slicers, Create Date and Close Date. Both are used as relative date slicers and will select a date range. I have one table that just returns a bunch of item detail data, no aggregations. I need the slicers to filter the table as an "or" condition, rather than "and".

If I select Create Date in Last 1 week and Close Date in Next 1 week, I should see all records that either have a Create Date in the last week OR a Close Date in the next week.  Since the slicers can return multiple values, I think I need to use "ALLSELECTED" function, but I am having trouble figuring out how to use it in a measure to filter the table with since I am not calculating any aggregations. Anyone have ideas?

Hi @smileamile2 

Create two another identical tables.

date 2 = ALLSELECTED('date'[date])

Apply two tables of date for two slicer respectively.

Then create a measure.

slicer_date = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('date'[date]) in VALUES('date 1'[date]) || SELECTEDVALUE('date'[date]) in VALUES('date 2'[date]),1,0)

Finally, put the measure on the data filter.

@smileamile2 , As long as all other columns other than the measure you created are un summarized, measure will filter the table 

With independent date table

example

measure =
VAR _max = MAXX(allselected('Date1'),'Date1' [Date])
return
countrows(filter(Table, Table[Create Date] >=_max-7 && [Create Date] <= _max && Table[close Date] >=_max && [Close Date] <= _max +7 ))

use this measure with all other fields as un summarized in visual.

Or filter this value is not blank in the visual level filter

Well, I can't have the +-7 in the measure itself. I have relative date slicers that allow user to select any date range that can change
