Set default 7 days dates to Date (between) slicer

[DataSpace]

I have a client requirement where Date (Between) Slicer need to set default for last one week as shown below:

From Date: date before 7 days from today.

To Date: today's date

                                   

Dataset having a main table where Date column having past as well as future date values.

Currenty Date (between) slicer showing min date and max date from dataset.

After lending report page with default last one week date values, User should be able to select any From and To date to filter the data.

Any workaround/suggestion/comments/tricks highly appreciated.

Hi @DataSpace 

Maybe you can try this:

First of all, I create a set of sample:

Then add a calculate column:

Column =
VAR _CurrentDate =
    TODAY ()
RETURN
    IF (
        'Table'[Date]
            >= DATE ( YEAR ( _CurrentDate ), MONTH ( _CurrentDate ), DAY ( _CurrentDate ) - 7 )
            && 'Table'[Date] <= _CurrentDate,
        "LastOneWeek",
        FORMAT ( 'Table'[Date], "yyyy-mm-dd" )
    )

 This column mark the last 7 days as the LastOneWeek:

The result is as follow:

Thanks @Anonymous  for your response.

This can work with Date (Dropdown) slicer, but how to map thi column with Date (Between) Slicer. 

Because when it map Date column with Date(Between ) slicer, it takes by default takes min and max value from that column. so it will skill the hard code value 'Last one week'.

Can you please explain a bit more to make me understand ?

Hi @DataSpace 

The workaround doesn't applicable to the between Slicer, because the format of the calculate column is text.

This workaround is to get the date of today by using TODAY() function, then mark the last 7 days of today as the LastOneWeek.

try adding below dax in your slicer;
LastSevenDays =
VAR CurrentDate = TODAY()
VAR MinDate = CurrentDate - 6
VAR MaxDate = CurrentDate
RETURN CALCULATE( [Your_table], FILTER( ALL('YourDateColumn'), 'YourDateColumn' >= MinDate && 'YourDateColumn' <= MaxDate ) )

let me know if you encounter any error...

1. There should be some expression insted of scaler table as first argument in CALCULATE function.

what it should be?

2. How to assign this measure to slicer? How it will set required values to 'From Date' and 'To Date' in Date range(between) slicer?

Please guide
