Showing a caption if a date in the last 6 months has been selected

[dgilm33]

Hi all,

I am having trouble with something that is probably simple. I have a date column I use in a slicer so users can select the range they want to see sales for. The issue is, the sales are typically allocated at the end of the month and not everyday. So, if a user is selected to 8/1/22 - 8/16/23, 8/23 sales would not be shown. 

I've been asked to show a caption if a user is selected to a date in the most recent 6 months, regardless of when the sales are allocated. So currently anything selected to 9/1/23 would result in the caption showing. How could I make a measure to show if the selected value in the date slicer is >= 9/1/23 and <= 3/3/24, yes, else no for example?

Hi @dgilm33 ,

According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.

(1) This is my test data.  

DateTable = CALENDAR(DATE(2023,1,1),TODAY())

(2) We can create a measure. 

Measure = IF(
ISFILTERED('DateTable'[Date])=FALSE(),BLANK(),IF(
MIN('DateTable'[Date])>=EDATE(TODAY(),-6) && MAX('DateTable'[Date])<=TODAY(),"yes","no"))

(3) Setting the conditional format and then the result is as follows.

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. Thank you.
