Using one slicer on 2 different date columns

Hi,

 

I'm pulling data from only one table for my report. I have 2 date columns - effective date and expired date. I need to use only one slicer in my report so that I can apply filter on both effective date and expired date as below.

 

policy eff dt <= slicer date

and 

expired dt > slicer date

 

Please let me know if this can be achieved?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

1. Create a date table and add the date column in slicer.

 

date = CALENDARAUTO()

2. Create a measure and make the table visual filtered by the measure.

 

Measure = 
VAR _exp =
    MAX ( Table1[expired date] )
VAR _eff =
    MAX ( Table1[effective date] )
VAR _sele =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'date'[Date] )
RETURN
    IF ( _eff <= _sele && _exp > _sele, 1, 0 )
