    Hi,Graemess 

     

    Have your problems been solved? If you find a solution, feel free to share it with us, which will help other community members with the same problem find a solution faster.

     

    Regarding the issue you raised, my solution is as follows:

    Depending on your needs, you can try using the date column as a slicer and using the directquery storage mode to store the data.

    1.First you can create a date table using the following calculation table:

     

    main Table = CALENDAR(DATE(2024,3,19),TODAY())

     

    Select the date hierarchy you want as the slicer.

    Here is the relevant documentation:

    Select the date hierarchy you want as the slicer.

    Here is the relevant documentation:

    Auto date/time in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

    Slicers in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

     

    2.Next, establish relationships with the tables you need to control:

    Here is the relevant documentation:

    Create and manage relationships in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

    This makes it possible to use only the data selected by the slicer.

     

    3.Here are the final results:

    Can you share sample data and sample output in tabular format if I am misunderstanding? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data. We can better understand the problem and help you.

     

    Please find the attached pbix relevant to the case.

     

    Best Regards,
