Problem With Slicers And Matrices

I'm trying to setup a page with two matrix visuals and two slicers.  First, the two slicers looks like this:

This will allow the user to select the year and the month.  One matrix is already setup to work with this so it only displays data for the selected month/year and it works great.  The second matrix needs to display year-to-date data from the beginning of the selected year through the end of the selected month/year.  I have a measure for getting the user-selected date and its last day and one for getting the date of January first of the selected year.  What I'm unable to do, so far, is figure out how to set a date range filter for the matrix.  Can this be done?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Here's my solution.

1.Create a seperate calendar table for the two slicer.

2.Create a mesaure to filter for the first visual. Put the measure into filters and set up show items when the value is 1.

visual-level-filter = var _date=MAX('Table'[Date])
return IF(MONTH(_date)<=SELECTEDVALUE('Table 2'[Date].[MonthNo])&&YEAR(_date)=SELECTEDVALUE('Table 2'[Date].[Year]),1)

3.Create another measure to get the year to date value.

YTD = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),MONTH([Date])<=SELECTEDVALUE('Table 2'[Date].[MonthNo])&&YEAR([Date])=SELECTEDVALUE('Table 2'[Date].[Year])))

Stephen,

 

I tried your solution but, unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work.  It caused the first matrix that was working to no longer work and I couldn't get the second matrix to work at all.

 

I appreciate the time and effort.
