    Hi sullynivek,


    You can refer to below steps to achieve your requirement, if it suitable for your requirement.

     

    Steps:

    1. Write dax formula to create calculated column to store range tag.

     

    Range category = 
VAR diff =
    DATEDIFF ( [Date], TODAY (), DAY )
RETURN
    IF (
        diff <= 14,
        "Less than 14 days",
        IF ( diff <= 29, "15 to 29 days", "30 day or older" )
    )

     

     

    3. Use above column to create a slicer to enable the filter effect.

     

    Notice: above filter effect also works on other related tables.

     

    Regards,

    Xiaoxin Sheng

Hi Anonymous,

 

This didn't work for me unfortunately, the graphs did pick up on the change but it would wipe out all the bars. When looking at the table it would return 14 days or less for some spurious dates i.e. 12/07/2017?

 

Not sure why it is doing this.

 

Could you share you demo with me?

hi Anonymous,

 

It wasn't your solution that was the problem, it was my date table; for some reason it was changing the 1st 12 date entries of the month to the US format i.e. mm/dd/yyyy and the remainder of the month the format was dd/mm/yyyy?

 

I have recitified the date table and your solution is just perfect - thanks.

 

Kevin.

 

P.S. Wonder if you could look at another problem that i have - see it at this post:
