Overlapping Slicer

Hello PBI Community...   I have a question that I don’t even know is possible.   I have a report in PBI desktop and I want there to be buttons (potentially a slicer) to show the income either for...

    I'd do a disconnected table/switch combination that looks like this:

     

    Step #1 Create a disconnected table:

    Number    Chooser   

    0               YTD

    1               Last Week

     

    Step 2 the measure

    = Switch(min(DisconnectedTable[Number]),

    0,[Calculation #1],

    1,[Calculation #2])

     

    Step 3. Bring the Chooser column, from the disconnected table, on to the pivot as a slicer. When you select YTD, the min will filter to 0, and the switch will run calc #1. When you select Last Week, the min will filter to 1, and the switch will run calc#2

     

    Essentially you make two distinct calcs, one that does YTD, and another that does last week. Then the switch will toggle between them. 

     

    Does this help?

Hi. make a calculated column with either current week or YTD. something like:

 

if(now()>week_start_date, = "current_week",if(now()-365>week_start_date,"YTD","other")).

 

use that in your slicer and you will get either YTD or last_wk or other
