    Hi gomezc73 ,

     

    You may try the following expression

     

    Filter(Sales,Sales[Year_Month] in values('Year_Month From'[Year_Month])
     
    Filter(Sales,Sales[Year_Month] in values('Year_Month To'[Year_Month])
     

    Hope it helps!

Hi gomezc73 ,

 

The filter in DAX is selecting on the context, not filtering on the table data, I created simple samples to illustrate this for you:

 

 

Filter A = CALCULATE(SUMX('Sales','Sales'[Sales]),FILTER('Sales','Sales'[Type]="A"))

Total = SUMX('Sales','Sales'[Sales])

 

 

For one , It filters out sums of type A , for another , it doe not have any filters. And your goal is to filter the entire table dynamically based on time, not to filter the data in the table. So you can use the simple SUMX function to do just that.

 

Please feel free to correct me and provide more information if I have misunderstood you!

 

Hope it helps!

Hi, thank you for your early response.

 

I need explain how my reports works, because it is more complicated.

 

I have a file of SALES/products by months, and the original request is compare sales in diferent months.

 

To do that, i created two tables with the following comand:

 

Year_Month From = VALUES(Sales[Year_Month])
Year_Month To = VALUES(Sales[Year_Month])
 
 And i have a Slicer for each one
 
The first table has a ACTIVE relationship with the SALES files and the second file has a INACTIVE relationshionship .
 
To get the First of the first month i use a filter like this
Filter(Sales,Sales[Year_Month] = selectedvalue('Year_Month From'[Year_Month])
 
For the second month is use the same SUMX, but using a USERELATIONSHIP,
 
Filter(Sales,Sales[Year_Month] = selectedvalue('Year_Month To'[Year_Month])
 
In your response you use the Month from the same file SALES, but I can use it directly because i need compare two months.
 
it works fine selecting only 1 month in each slicer.
 
The issue is due the user wants select by example: Jan+Feb+Mar of 2022 in the first Slicer and compare it with Jan+Feb+Mar of 2023 (in the second Slicer)
 
In that case my Measure doesn't work and i don't know how it can be modified to allow multiple selections.
 
I really appreciate your help..
 
regards
