Power BI Query Dynamic Filter

[Anonymous]

HI,

Hope you are doing well. I have a small query in Power BI.

Data source: Oracle SQL in import mode.

My customer wants to create a filter based on a date that only shows the data for yesterday and today's date.

So for example :

If we have a date column from 01/01/2019 ----31/12/2020

The customer should see only 31/12/2020 and the day before ( 30/12/2020) by default.

And after that, if they want they can move the filter and changes the date to see the historical data. (The data from previous years: 2019)

I managed to make that filter by the logic: Max date and Max Date-1 but for a moment it is static and not dynamic.The filter should be on creation date

The filter should be on the creation date.

Any idea how to achieve this?

Thanks

You cannot make the data dynamic change to latest 2 days by default meanwhile allow you to change to others dates. 

For your requirement, you may follow the workaround:

1. Create 2 same tables.

2. Set a visual filter with TOP N filter to one table, the table will always display the latest 2 days' data.

3. Using the "Edit Interaction" feature to turn off the interaction between the Slicer and the filtered table.

4. You just the Slicer to change to others dates to show corresponding data in the other table.
