How to display last 5 quarters based on current date

Hi Experts,

 

We have data that shows the pupulation increase for all the cities for all quarters.

 

In my report i have a slicer 'City'  and a line graph. The requirement is when we select a particular city from the slicer, then data only for last 5 quarters should be displayed in the Line graph.

 

Last 5 quarters from Current date.

Please advise how can we achieve this.

 

Many thanks.

Hi @Anonymous,

Based on my test, you could refer to below formula to calculate the last quarter:

Sample data:

Create below calculated column:

Last quarter = IF(YEAR('Table'[Date])<MAXX('Table',YEAR('Table'[Date])),(MAXX('Table',YEAR('Table'[Date]))-YEAR([Date]))*4+5-[Quarter],[Quarter])

You could use this new column to create a slicer to show the last 5quarter:

You could also download the pbix file to have a view.

Hello, I found this solution is useful to show the last quarters. However, is there any method to update the last quarter compared to the current date? Thanks a lot!
