Date Sliders OR Logic

[marienugent]

Hello. I am new to Power BI. I am needing to add a date slider to my report, however, I need the slider to look at two different columns and use an OR logic.

For example, if we had a purchased date column and a returned date column, I would need the slider to look at purchase date in selected range OR returned date in selected range.

Is this possible to do?

Hi @marienugent ,

I suggest you to create an unrelated calendar table for slicer and then create a measure to filter your visual in visual level filter.

My Sample:

Measure:

Measure Filter = 
VAR _Purchase_Date =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Purchase Date] )
VAR _Returned_Date =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Returned Date] )
VAR _Date_Range =
    VALUES ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
RETURN
    IF ( OR ( _Purchase_Date IN _Date_Range, _Returned_Date IN _Date_Range ), 1, 0 )

In my sample, my date range is from 2022/10/01 to 2022/10/31, so the visual should return ID 1/3/4.

This works, but only if I am displaying the dates in the visual, which I do not want them displayed. The only thing I need in the visual is a count of revenue and transactions, but I need the slicer to be able to accurately change those counts based on the purchase and returned dates.

Hi @marienugent ,

You can try this code to get count result.

Count = 
VAR _Date_Range =
    VALUES ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
RETURN
    CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[ID]),FILTER('Table', OR ( 'Table'[Purchase Date] IN _Date_Range, 'Table'[Returned Date] IN _Date_Range )))

Result is as below.
