Relative date and Date slycer

Hello everyone, 

I want my power BI report page to show the past 7 days by default (I've done this using relative date) but I also want the same report page to be filtered with a date slicer with dates outside the range of the past 7 days. I cannot seem to get the date slycer filter and relative date filter (default view) to not affect each other, how can I achieve this.

  • You'll need a column to distinguish what's within and beyond seven days. Use that column in a slicer. Please see attached pbix.

    In your  calendar table, you will need to create a column that distguishes which dates are within and beyond seven days with a reference to a specific date - today or max transaction date. An example calculated colum would be:

     

    VAR ReferenceDate =
        TODAY () --or MAX(datatable[date])
    RETURN
        --includes the reference date and 6 days earlier for a total of 7 days
        IF (
            CalendarTable[Date]
                >= TODAY () - 6,
            "Past 7 days",
            "Beyond 7 days"
        )
