Period Filter/Slicer use the value selected in different ways for different visulaisations

When you say period it is not clear you taking of custom period. All time intelligence functions work best with date calendar.

Can you explain your need with better example

Few examples

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :
