Timeline Slicer - Fiscal Year issue

Hi,

 

I have downloaded the timeline slicer from the visual gallery.

 

However, I find I can't seem to map the fiscal year correctly using the settings. I have data from Oct 2013 till Sept 2016.

 

My fiscal year starts on Oct 1 2013 as FY14.. however, the slicer recognises it as start of FY13.

 

How does one resolve this so that the fiscal year is mapped correctly on the slicer?

Please try to create another date column by adding one year and drag this column into timeline visual.

 

Date_New = 
DATE ( YEAR ( Table1[Date] ) + 1, MONTH ( Table1[Date] ), DAY ( Table1[Date] ) )

Please can I ask how you add this column to the data source using the above code, every time I have attempted to do this I keep getting an error stating 'Expression.Error: The name 'DATE' wasn't recognised. Make sure it's spelled correctly.'

Hi,

 

Does anyone know how to make the Visual:  "Timeline.1.3.17" from Power BI Visuals Gallery...  map to Microsoft's fiscal year calendar?  Thank you!

Hello mbwt,

 

Were you able to find any resolutions to this?

 

Thank You,

Hi Ashish,

 

You can use newly added Date slicers update in the Oct Update. This will manually allow you to configure your date slicers.

 

Refer to this VIDEO.

Thanks & Regards,
