Custom date range in Line chart from slicer selection

Hi All,

 

I would like some help on this one as I cannot figure it out.

 

I have a regular date range slicer for Date. 

 

I want to show the last 3 month from the max selected date in the slicer (not current date). I want to show the results in a line chart

 

Ex. Selected Slicer Value: 2020-07-01, the range in line chart shows 2020-05-02 to 2020-07-01

 

I have the following calculation but the line chart is still showing for the full date range:

 

 

Sales Last 60 d = 
var Ldate = MAX('Date'[Date]) //Last date
var Fdate = (Ldate-60) // last 60 days
return
calculate([Sales Total], 
    FILTER (
        Sales,
        RELATED('Date'[Date]) >= Fdate )))
 

 

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

We can create a date table and a measure to meet your requirement.

The date table has no relationship with sales table.

 

1. Create a date table to be a slicer.

 

Date = CALENDAR("2020/1/1","2020/8/1")

2. Then we can create a measure.

 

Sales Last 60 d = 
var _SelectDate = SELECTEDVALUE('Date'[Date])
var _Fdate = _SelectDate-60
var _result = 
calculate(
    SUM('Sales table'[Sales]), 
    FILTER (
        'Sales table',
        'Sales table'[Date]<=_SelectDate && 'Sales table'[Date] >=_Fdate))
return
IF(
    ISBLANK(_SelectDate),SUM('Sales table'[Sales]),_result)

If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please show the exact expected result based on the table that we have shared?

BTW, pbix as attached.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

How about the result after you follow the suggestions mentioned in my original post?

Could you please provide more details or expected result about it If it doesn't meet your requirement?

If you've fixed the issue on your own please kindly share your solution.

@Anonymous - My Complex Selector quick measure provides an example of this scenario almost exactly.
