How can I allow the user to select what date they want to see the data filtered by , depending on 2 columns:
Select data where date A = value (or range) or Date B = value (or range)

Hi @Maryann ,
We can archieve your requirement in single visual if you mean the two columns are in the same table. Firstly we create two calculated table based on the two columns:
FilterColumnA =
DISTINCT('Table'[Date A])
FilterColumnB =
DISTINCT('Table'[Date B])
Then we create a measure to filter the visual:
isDataFiltered =
COUNTAX (
'Table',
IF (
OR (
[Date A] IN FILTERS ( 'FilterColumnA'[Date A] ),
[Date B] IN FILTERS ( 'FilterColumnB'[Date B] )
),
1,
BLANK ()
)
)
Then we can put it into the visual filter then set it is greater than zero.

I'm new to powerbi, and I'm not sure exactly how to follow your instructions.
You said to "create two calculated tables" - Is that in Modeling - New table?
When I do that I get: 1 TABLE =
(not sure where FilterColumnA goes)
If you could provide more direction it would be appreciated.
thanks
