    Hi Noak,

     

    Cause you need 4 selections so I create filter table by "Enter data" option as Period table in picture

     

    Create new Measure with swtich options based on user's selection:

     

     

    Calcualted Measure - Value = if(HASONEVALUE('Filters'[Period]),
	SWITCH(FIRSTNONBLANK('Filters'[Period],'Filters'[Period]),
	"Last 24h",CALCULATE(sum(SampleData[Value]),FILTER(SampleData,SampleData[Date] >= NOW()-1  )),
	"Last Week",CALCULATE(sum(SampleData[Value]),FILTER(SampleData,SampleData[Date] >= NOW()-7  )),
	"Last Month",CALCULATE(sum(SampleData[Value]),FILTER(SampleData,SampleData[Date] >= NOW()-35  )),
	"Last Year",CALCULATE(sum(SampleData[Value]),FILTER(SampleData,SampleData[Date] >= NOW()-365  )),
		BLANK()
	) )

    (Not sure meaning of 13 months, so i let it minus 365 days, you could modify it)

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    In case you want to change the scenario with YTD, MTD, today, this week, this month, this year. You could use equal express with Today() or Month(Today()), Weeknum(Today()), Year(today())

     

     

    If this works for you please accept it as solution and also give KUDOS.

      Thank you tringuyenminh92 , you might have saved my day.

      Basicly the end client see lot of data with interval of 5 minutes:

      I want the most "elegant" way to present the data for 4 possabilities:

      1. last 24h

      2.last week

      3.last month

      4.last year

       

      P.S I noticed its not possible to drill down to minutes.

        Hi Noak,


        I would like to confirm about definition of 

        Last 24h: is that  from NOW - 24H or today ?

        Last Week: is that from now - 7 days or from first date of week to now?

        Last Month is that from first date of month to now or something else?

        Last Month is that from first date of year to now or something else?
