I have gotten a request to make the report I'm working on always display the previous four quarters (without using multi-select) depending on which selection is made. The data is organized as follows:
The report looks like this:
The request is so that when any quarter is selected it displays the previous four rows of quarters:
Any guidance and help on this would be greatly appreciate.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @someone
1. In query editor, create an index column from 1.
Then create a blank query, and write code in Advanced editor.
let
Source = Table.SelectColumns(Sheet1,{"Quarter","Index"})
in
Source
2. In Relationship View, create the relationship between two tables.
3. In Report view, create measures, then add [Measure 3] to the Visual Filter and show 1
Measure = SELECTEDVALUE(Query1[Index]) Measure 2 = [Measure]-4 Measure 3 = IF(MAX(Sheet1[Index])>=[Measure 2]&&MAX(Sheet1[Index])<[Measure],1,0)

Does your dataset have a date? If not then you can add a index column and then can be worked thru that. It will be good to know what your dataset looks like before giving the solution.

My dataset does not have a date. The quarter format is a column with shorthand for fiscal year (the year) and quarter (quarter number). You can see it in this picture:
can you share data in excel ?
