Dates Dropdown slicer to filter from the start date up to the selected date

[mohsabbah]

Hello Volks,

I have a dates table, every row represent the enddate of a week from the porject beggining 

I'm using slicer to choose the period from the beggining to specific date from this column.

I had been asked to change it to dropdown list as my manager is confused what to choose from the slicer.
I tried to convert it to dropdown but when i choose a date it filter only the chosen date data, and we want it to filter a period from the project start to the selected date.

I would be thankful for any help to modify the slicer to filter a period instead of filter only the chosen date.

Hi @mohsabbah ,

You can use the slicer and sifter together.

1. Create a new table for the slicer.

Table for slicer = VALUES('Calendar'[Date])

2. New a mesure.

Filter = 
VAR _selectdate =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table for slicer'[Date] )
VAR _filter =
    IF ( MAX ( 'Calendar'[Date] ) <= _selectdate, 1 )
RETURN
    _filter

3.1 For visual that have a date field, you can use this measure for the filter.

Result.

3.2 For visual like cards, you need to modify the filtering parameters in the formula.

Total = 
SUM ( 'FactSalesTable'[Sales] )

Total = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'FactSalesTable'[Sales] ),
    FILTER (
        'Calendar',
        'Calendar'[Date] <= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table for slicer'[Date] )
    )
)

Hello,

This is a good solution, but i have a problem that I am using live connection to dax tabular cube.

Is there a different approach not using table creation?

Ideally i would like to use dropdown slicer to pick a value and show +- 15 days of range in line chart.

I cant use range slicers.

Thank you for your help.
