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.
