Working with multiple fiscal calendars

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am working with 3 seperate calendars; 

Standard EOYMonth = 12

Fiscal 1 EOYMonth = 3

Fiscal 2 EOYMonth =9

What I hope to be able to do is use one slicer at the top of a report page to select (single select only) the calendar that the user wants to view. Then from that selection limit which Date Hierachy will be used in a subsequent slicer. I hope that I will be able to use the "Hierarchy Slicer" (https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/power-bi-visuals/WA104380820?tab=Overview) as the second slicer. 

I have tried using multiple calendar tables, one table with all calendars and have not had any success thus far. Any suggestions from the community are greatly appreciated, or any thoughts I may have overlooked

Thanks,

Nick

@Icey  Thank you for sharing this, at a glance it does seem like this will put me on the right track for solving the users needs. Unfortunately the task I was working on at the time was a non-critical convenience request, and as I have just started my 4 week sprint I won't have time to look at that work item again for about a month. I look forward to being able to add this functionality to many of my reports in the future.

Thanks again for your help!

Regards,

Nick

Hi @Anonymous ,

One workaround which may meet your requirements:

1. Create a slicer table which is independent of other tables.

2. Create 3 measures. Refer to this blog: Show or Hide a Power BI Visual Based on Selection.

Make Transparent 1 = IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( Slicer[Calendar] ) = "Calendar 1", "#FFFFFF00", "White" )

Make Transparent 2 = IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( Slicer[Calendar] ) = "Calendar 2", "#FFFFFF00", "White" )

Make Transparent 3 = IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( Slicer[Calendar] ) = "Calendar 3", "#FFFFFF00", "White" )

3. Create a blank measure and create a card using it.

Measure = BLANK()

4. Set conditional background of the card.

5. Result.
