Measure to bring all dates till the filtered date

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I know it's quite common issue, but I still can't find the solution and there is a feeling that I'm doing something wrong.

My goal is to show in line graph qty dynamic by year and month. Main problem that there will be a filter of period necessary for other visuals. 

Problems:

• I can't find the right DAX to be able to calculate all dates till the filtered period.
• If I disable interactions between line chart and period filter, I get all dates, even those that shouldn't be in the graph.

For example, if I filtered 2020-10 period (2020 October), I need to see in the graph all dates till 2020-10-31

I've tried to write a DAX formula that don't evaluate filter:

QTY visual = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM(INV[ INV_QTY ]), 
    FILTER(ALL('Date'[Date]), 'Date'[Date]<=MAX('Date'[Date]) ))

But it still shows just the period that is filtered.

Can you help me to figure out where I'm doing wrong?

Hi, @Anonymous 

According to your description and sample picture, I think that you want to make the line chart show the data before or in the period you selected, right? You can try my steps:

1. Create a calculated table for the Slicer:

Slicer =

SELECTCOLUMNS('Date',"Period",[Period],"Date",[Date])

Then make sure it doesn’t have a relationship with any tables, which is important:

2. Create a measure:

QTY visual1 =

var _selecteddate=MAX('Slicer'[Date])

return

IF(MAX('Date'[Date])<=_selecteddate,SUM(INV[ INV_QTY ]),BLANK())

3. Go to the line chart and replace the measure in the “Value” with [QTY visual1], like this:

And you can get what you want.

I would make sure the filter does not interact with the linechart and use the selectedvalue from the filter in your DAX formula.
