Hi @FZOU ,

 

You could create a date dimension with CALENDAR() or CALENDARAUTO() function. Then use the following DAX to set parameter in your current DAX formula but not for all DAX.

var _min = MIN('Table'[Date])
var _max = MAX('Table'[Date])

yes, but then it is no longer a parameter. Create a new query that references your fact table. Click on the date column and select earliest from the date menu.

I will not give you bad advice, even if you unknowingly ask for it.
