Single date picker set default date on Between date picker

Hello everyone!

I'm following these steps to create a Single Date Picker in Power BI:

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/power-bi-single-date-picker-without-dax-torsten-wanka/, which works fine. I need now this date to be the default date of an end date in a slicer that has a between functionality. How can I do that?

  • Once I achieve the previous functionality, I would like to automatically set the start of the slicer to the beginning of the month for that specific date. Is it possible to do so?

please share the dummy file and your expected answer mentioned in it.

Thanks. Look, I have two sheets in my PBIX file (find it attached below): one with a single date picker and another with a Between slicer. I want my single date picker date to become the end date of my between slicer (1 in the image), and then I want the start date of my slicer to become the first day of the month based on the previous step (2 in the image).

Hello everyone! Here's an updated PBIX file with more data. Still, I have not found a way to solve this issue, thanks!

 

FYI @elitesmitpatel 

Hi,

What is the purpose of the the between slicer.  Once a date is selected in the single date picker slicer, in any measure, you can create a virtual date table of all dates from the beginning of the month to the selected date.

Between Slicer allows the user to select multiple dates in a period to refresh information and data. So you are saying that I should use my date table to create another date table which will be used only for this section of Between Slicer, right?

No, i am questioning the very need to create 2 date slicers.  On second thoughts, just have the between date slicer.

The need is because the client wants a single date picker but now we want to use this single date picker to pre-define the dates of the between slicer
