Is it possible to have a date slicer filter one visual by month and another visual by quarter?

[jvolden]

Hello,

I have a date slicer I am using a date heirarchy in. My goal is to select a month-year combo in the slicer and then have one visual filter to that specific selection and another visual filter to the relevant quarter associated with the selected month. I'm struggling to work out a way to use a single date slicer to filter on different date parts in different visuls.

Any ideas out there?

Hi @jvolden ,

Sorry for my late reply firstly. 

You could follow these steps below to achieve your needs.

1.Extract the Date column to create a single table for slicer:

ForSlicer =
SELECTCOLUMNS ( 'Table', "Date", [Date] )

2.Use the following formula to create measure and apply it to filter pane ,set as "is 1" for visual1

for YearMonth =
    VAR _seleYear =
        SELECTEDVALUE ( 'ForSlicer'[Date].[Year] )
    VAR _seleMonth =
        SELECTEDVALUE ( 'ForSlicer'[Date].[MonthNo] )
    RETURN
        IF (
            YEAR ( MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ) ) = _seleYear
                && MONTH ( MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ) ) = _seleMonth,
            1,
            0
        )

3. Almost the same as step2 for visual2

for Quarter =
VAR _seleYear =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'ForSlicer'[Date].[Year] )
VAR _seleMonth =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'ForSlicer'[Date].[MonthNo] )
VAR _quar =
    MAXX (
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Date].[MonthNo] = _seleMonth ),
        QUARTER ( [Date] )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        YEAR ( MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ) ) = _seleYear
            && QUARTER ( MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ) ) = _quar,
        1,
        0
    )

The final output is shown below:

Hi @jvolden 

Create 2 different slicers one for month and one for year, then use the "Edit interactions" feature of the desktop to Stop and Filter the visuals as you like.
