"PREVIOUSQUARTER"

Hello,

I am building a custom slicer in which I want to be able to slice to previous year, quarter, and month. I cant figure out what needs to be entered here after the "PREVIOUSQUARTER".

HI @JDMakita ,

You could test to make a previous Qtr flag on the query editor:

=Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type1", "Previous Qtr Flag", each if [Date] <= Date.AddMonths(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()),-3) then 1 else 0)
