Slicer to pick between date columns

Hello,

 

I have a set of data where for each row I have both a transaction date but also an inception date.  Is there a way to create a slicer that would allow the user to decide which date column to use for the axis on the reports.

 

I have tried creating a slicer, and then a measure based on the result of that slicer, and then a calculated column based on that measure which hasn't worked.

Hi @Brubaker,

 

According to your description, you want to use slicer to choose which date column to use in chart axis, right?

 

Currently, the slicer can only contain one column and we choose prefer values in slicer to filter chart axis values. But we are not able to use slicer to control which columns can be used in chart axis dynamically.

 

Regards,

Xiaoxin Sheng
