Timeline Slicer with Calculated Tables
- 9 years ago
Calculated tables and calculate columns do not respond to slicers. If your slicer is related 1 to many to the calc table or table with a calc column the slicer will filter the table in the many side. Does that answer your question?

Hi KarlinOz
Does the field you use in your timeline slicer come from a Date/Calendar table? And have you made a relationship between your calculated table and your Date/Calendar table?
Just a thought.

So for completeness I'll post what I did to get it to work.
I had to move my measure back to one of the source tables and to get the measure to work correctly I had to create two new columns in my source table - I gather I could have just written the code for the two columns into the measure but after a couple of hours of trying I gave up and created the new columns.
This is probably a good object lesson in why creating new tables is not always the best solution.

Thanks for your response MattAllington, it may do. I have a relationship between Project and the calculated table and it is slicing on that ok. But not on the Date - I don't have a date field in the calculated table. I'm just heading home for the week now so on Monday I'll take a look at that.
