Hi,
I would like to be able to change the date range on a chart based on a slicer.
This would be similar to relative time slicer but I want to be able to define the time periods in the table and then use them in a slicer:
So if I select "Last 3 Days" my chart shows data for 3 days only, if I select "Last Month" my chart shows data for last month...
What is the best way to achieve that?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
Create an extra table to list all avialble date periods for selection, which is unrelated to source data table.
Add below measure into visual level filter.
Measure = VAR selectedperiod = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Date range'[Period] ) VAR last3days = IF ( MAX ( Test_1[Date] ) <= TODAY () && MAX ( Test_1[Date] ) > TODAY () - 3, 1, 0 ) VAR last6days = IF ( MAX ( Test_1[Date] ) <= TODAY () && MAX ( Test_1[Date] ) > TODAY () - 6, 1, 0 ) VAR lastweek = IF ( YEAR ( MAX ( Test_1[Date] ) ) = YEAR ( TODAY () ) && WEEKNUM ( MAX ( Test_1[Date] ), 2 ) = WEEKNUM ( TODAY (), 2 ) - 1, 1, 0 ) VAR last12days = IF ( MAX ( Test_1[Date] ) <= TODAY () && MAX ( Test_1[Date] ) > TODAY () - 12, 1, 0 ) VAR last15days = IF ( MAX ( Test_1[Date] ) <= TODAY () && MAX ( Test_1[Date] ) > TODAY () - 15, 1, 0 ) VAR lastmonth = IF ( MONTH ( TODAY () ) <> 1, IF ( YEAR ( MAX ( Test_1[Date] ) ) = YEAR ( TODAY () ) && MONTH ( MAX ( Test_1[Date] ) ) = MONTH ( TODAY () ) - 1, 1, 0 ), IF ( YEAR ( MAX ( Test_1[Date] ) ) = YEAR ( TODAY () ) - 1 && MONTH ( MAX ( Test_1[Date] ) ) = 12, 1, 0 ) ) RETURN IF ( selectedperiod = "Last 3 days", last3days, IF ( selectedperiod = "Last 6 days", last6days, IF ( selectedperiod = "Last Week", lastweek, IF ( selectedperiod = "Last 12 days", last12days, IF ( selectedperiod = "Last 15 days", last15days, IF ( selectedperiod = "Last Month", lastmonth, 0 ) ) ) ) ) )

Hi Yuliana,
Can you please explain "Add below measure into visual level filter.".
Can you please review with the current version of Power BI desktop.
