Using a measure to change data to weekly or monthly date range

Hi albertax ,
You can refer the following links to get it.
Change time period (week, Month, Quarter...) on slicer selection
Power BI How To: Adding a Monthly/Annual switch to a Dashboard
Measure to show the data as "daily","weekly","monthly" in power bi?
There are 2 common ways to make this work :
Way-1 : Utilizing Power Query
- Create a "Date Table" using the date column in power query
- Add 3 calculated columns that extracts month, week and day info from the "Date" column in the newly created "Date Table".
- Now, unpivot the "month", "day" and "year" columns and load the file.
- Create a one to many relationship with "Date" columns as common in both tables and there you go.
Way-2 (Using Drill-through buttons).
Use the recent feature update of Power BI, i.e., drilling the data using buttons. So, you just need to create a date hierarchy and then drill through using buttons for "month", "week"and "day".
I hope this will help you.
If you still got the doubt then please send me the dataset and I will give you an detailed explanation on this.
Best Regards
Your best bet is probably a calculation group with items for the different granularities. You can put the items into a slicer and it will do exactly what you're after
Hi johnt75,
I kind of liked your idea. I appreciate if you have some sample file that you can share.
