How can I use synced slicers (slicer group) to set the default to last month?

Hi!

I trying to use "Advanced slicer syncing" to set the default value to last month for a year-month slicer.

I trying to do this by having another date-slicer set to relative, Month(Calender) and last 1.

By placing both slicers within the same slicer groups they are supposed to sync.

The goal is to have a Year-month-slicer, pre-set to the last month, but then the user should be able change to an earlier month if needed.

The data-source is a tabular-cube, so I am somewhat limited on how I can change the model. Adding measurs is possible, but not changing dimension-columns.

Any help is most appriciated!

Hi @niklas3000,

Here I made one sample for your reference.

Measure =
IF (
    YEAR ( MAX ( Table1[date] ) ) * 100
        + MONTH ( MAX ( Table1[date] ) )
        = YEAR ( CALCULATE ( MAX ( Table1[date] ), ALL ( Table1 ) ) ) * 100
            + MONTH ( CALCULATE ( MAX ( Table1[date] ), ALL ( Table1 ) ) ),
    1,
    0
)

Then we can get the result as we excepetd. Here we need to filter the table visual by the measure.

For more details, please check the pbix as attached.

Hi!

I have tried your example file. Thanks again for providing it. Clicking the measure does filter the visual.

But I cant see that the slicer sync has any effect. One of the slicer is i a group called "Group", but the other slicer is not in the same group, so they are not synced.

I am missing something?

Thanks! I will check out the pbix-file 🙂
