how to select the data with a certain range

[Anonymous]

Hi, Here is the data looks like, and the slicer is the datamonth

I want to make it realize that when the slicer select 202112, the data returns when datamonth>=202101 and datamonth <=slicer 202111,

and when the slicer is 202210, the data returns when datamonth>=202201 and datamonth <=slicer 202210,

do you have any solutions to rezlize that? Thanks.

Hi , @Anonymous 

Thanks for your destailed explanation and the sample data provided!

Here are the steps you can refer to :

(1)My test data is the same as yours.

(2)We need to click "New Table" as a slicer:

Slicer = VALUES('Table'[datamonth])

(3)Then we can create a measure :

Measure = var _slicer = SELECTEDVALUE('Slicer'[datamonth])
var _first =VALUE(LEFT( FORMAT(_slicer , "0"),4)&"01")
var _cur_month = MAX('Table'[datamonth])
return
IF(_slicer = BLANK() ,1 , IF(_cur_month>= _first && _cur_month <= _slicer ,1,0))

(4)Then we can configure the measure on the "Filter on this visual" and we can meet your need:

I tried measure this way earlier but not work because that I built a realionship between these two tables, I removed the relationship and works, but actually there the realitionship is required  because besides this visual, there are other visuals in the same page, and these visuals should be filtered directed by the slicer

Hi, @Anonymous 

Yes, in order to implement the logic of your custom slicer, we need that there is no relationship between the two tables, and if the relationship is established, then the data will be filtered, and the best solution to this method is to place two slicers to meet your different needs.

@Anonymous , You can create a date using year month

date= datevalue([datamonth]&"01")

Create date table and have the month and year there

datamonth = format([Date], "yyyymm")

Create two version of date table, one join with table another do not join

create a measure like

//Date1 is independent Date table, Date is joined with Table
new measure =
var _max = maxx(allselected(Date1),Date1[Date])
var _min = eomonth(_max, -1*month(_max) ) +1
return
calculate( sum(Table[Value]), filter('Date', 'Date'[Date] >=_min && 'Date'[Date] <=_max))
