Change the x-axis dynamically

[Anonymous]

Hi All

I have a Calendar reference table which has dates spanning 100 years.

I am using this to pull back month and year alongside a table with data relating to activity. The graph is using a measure to calculate the number of cases that were open at the end of the month.

This is working perfectly for the data that I have - however, the data only runs up to April 2019 - but because I am using the Calendar table to pull back the month and year, the X axis runs on in perpetuity to the end of my 100 years.

How can I limit the graph dynamically so that it only shows data up to a given date (in some cases this will be the last day of the previous month, in other cases, it will be the current date. I may also need to show future dates in other graphs in the model.

hi, @Anonymous 

Just add a conditional in your measure formula as below:

For example:

cumulative sum = CALCULATE(SUM(Table2[Qty]),FILTER(ALL('Calendar'),'Calendar'[Date]<=MAX('Calendar'[Date])))

Measure = CALCULATE(SUM(Table2[Qty]),FILTER(ALL('Calendar'),'Calendar'[Date]<=MAX('Calendar'[Date])&&MAX(Table2[Date])>='Calendar'[Date]))

Result:

and if you want in some cases to choose, you could refer to this blog add multiple measure for slicer change
