Relative Date Slicer Week only

Hi All

 

Is it possible to lock a Relative Date Slicer to Weeks only rather allow the user to change the period?

And if not is there some other solution to allow the user to toggle for their own choice of weeks only?

    Hi derekmac 
    The slicer cannot only choose the week, but maybe you can refer to the follwing solution to substitue it.

    Sample data 

    1.Create a number paramater to set it as last week slicer

     

    2.Then create a measure

    Measure = 
VAR a =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Parameter[Parameter] )
VAR b =
    MAXX ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table 2'[Date] ), [Date] ) - 7 * a + 1
RETURN
    IF (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table 2'[Date] ) >= b
            && SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table 2'[Date] )
                <= MAXX ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table 2'[Date] ), [Date] ),
        1,
        0
    )

    3.Then you can create a visual and put the data to the visual, then put the measure to the visual filter(e.g table visual)

     

    Output

     

     

     

    Best Regards!

    I now this is already solved but I'm offering an alternative solution for those who might search and find this thread.

     

    https://www.villezekeviking.com/dax-tables-calendar-and-time/

     

    I have offset-columns from today that can be used to filter any report relative from today on days, weeks, months, quarters or years.

    Unlike the relative date filtering, this can span any period, from historical data, over current periods and into the future.
