Show 5 next periods depend of user selection on the selection slicer

Hi, 

 

I have following problem, I have a table with quarters from 2022 to 2025, but need to show only 5 quarters on it. 

Starting Q should be the quarter selected by user on the slicer and at this point I have a problem, because I cannot add a disconnected table with YYYY-Q, as this slicer also filters other visualisations. How to solve that problem?

 

Thank you!

Hi, @m4xon 

You can create a calculated table that lists all quarters, and then format the table so that it contains only quarters in YYYY-Q format.
Create a measure to capture the user's selection from the slicer. This metric will determine the starting quarter. Next, create a measure to calculate the 5 quarters starting from the selected quarters. To make sure that the slicer affects other visualizations, make sure it's connected to the same data model and that the relationships are set up correctly.
