    Greg_Deckler  Managed to include a column in the dataset extarct, I think that is the only way, You cannot do it in a measure.

     

    Thanks for the direction.

    Greg_Deckler ,

     

    Hi mate, based on your guide I manged to get the date I want to filter the dataset (using FIlter Pane). 

     

    below is the measure I created.

    ReportFilterDate =
    VAR currdate = TODAY ()
    VAR montsback = 4 * 30.5
    VAR Result = currdate - montsback
    RETURN
    Result
     
    Did you know how do I implement this filter in the Filter pane to satisfy below conditon.(BASIC_START_DATE is a date column in one of the tabels of my datamodel).
     
    BASIC_START_DATE > ReportFilterDate.
     
    It seems like I cannot use filter pane

      Anonymous - No, I do not know how to use the Filter Pane to do that unless you created a measure for returning 1 or 0, True or False, etc. But, the exact implementation depends on the visual.

        Greg_Deckler  I need to filter the whole report based on this condtion. 

         

        I will try to get a measure that retuns 0 or 1 and then filter out from the filter pane. 

         

        Thanks mate.
