Slicer options return incorrect data

Hello,

 

I want to create a slicer with several pre-defined options to select from.

The options should return data from today, the last 7 days, the last 30 days, the last 90 days.

It seems that the data from today displayed correctly, but the rest of the options are not.

Here is what I did:

 

 

slicer item = 
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    [Date] = TODAY (), "Today",
    DATEDIFF (
        [Date],
        TODAY (),
        DAY
    ) <= 7
        && [Date] <= TODAY (), "Last Week",
    DATEDIFF (
        [Date],
        TODAY (),
        DAY
    ) <= 30
        && [Date]
            < TODAY (), "Last Month",
    DATEDIFF (
        [Date],
        TODAY (),
        DAY
    ) <= 90
    && [Date]
            < TODAY (), "Last 3 Months"
)

 

 

 The last 7 days return with the correct data but not including today. (I want to include also today)

The last 30 + 90 return partly data which doesn't include the current month.

 

Can someone suggest to me what I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi, @edant ;

Because the conditional statement of switch takes the first condition [Date] = TODAY (), "Today" first, if your date meets today, then it can only return a result today instead of "Last Week";
Maybe you can try the following methods:
1.enter table.

2.create a flag measure.

flag = 
SWITCH (
    MAX ( 'slicer'[slicer] ),
    "Today", IF ( MAX ( 'Table'[date] ) = TODAY (), 1 ),
    "Last Week",
        IF (
            DATEDIFF ( MAX ( 'Table'[date] ), TODAY (), DAY ) <= 7
                && MAX ( 'Table'[date] ) <= TODAY (),
            1
        ),
    "Last Month",
        IF (
            DATEDIFF ( MAX ( 'Table'[date] ), TODAY (), DAY ) <= 30
                && MAX ( 'Table'[date] ) < TODAY (),
            1
        ),
    "Last 3 Months",
        IF (
            DATEDIFF ( MAX ( 'Table'[date] ), TODAY (), DAY ) <= 90
                && MAX ( 'Table'[date] ) < TODAY (),
            1
        )
)

3.apply it into filter.

The final output is shown below:

If it does not meet your needs, It would be great if there is a sample file without any sesentive information here.
It makes it easier to give you a solution.
