Using selected date in slicer to filter dates in another table
I have two separate tables:
1. "From" date
2. "To" date
Both tables have identical list of dates but I would like to use both as them as separate slicers.
For Example, I have dates from 1/1/2019 till 20/1/2019.
If I selected 10/1/2019 in the "From" date slicer, I would like the "To" date slicer to only show the dates after 10/1/2019, which is the selected value in the "from" date slicer.
I have been searching the net for answers for a few days now and I hope someone can help me with this!
Hi bcng,
Based on my test, you could refer to below steps:
Create a measure:
Measure = IF(CALCULATE(MAX('To'[Date]))>=SELECTEDVALUE('From'[Date]),1,0)Set the visual slicer:
Result:
But the measure could not be applied it in the slicer, I suggest you use the measure in visual.

So, typically the way you do that is to disconnect your slicers from everything using Edit Interactions. Then you create a measure that grabs the MAX or SELECTEDVALUE of each slicer and performs a calculation which returns a value if it is within that range or BLANK() or 0 otherwise and that essentially becomes your filter.
If that doesn't help, need more information to be more specific. Please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490
Hi Greg,
I tried using this measure:
Measure = IF('To Date'[Current Historical]>=VALUES('From Date'[Current Historical]),'To Date'[Current Historical],BLANK())but I am getting this error:A single value for column 'Current Historical' in table 'To Date' cannot be determined. This can happen when a measure formula refers to a column that contains many values without specifying an aggregation such as min, max, count, or sum to get a single result.Can't seem to figure out how to work around this error.I have already created a relationship between the two columnsHi bcng,
