Passing month and year parameters to filter the visuals.

[ShivaPrasad1]

Hello Team,

I have 3 years of data and counting in my data set. Date column is in the format of 2018.02, 2018.03 etc..I should have two slicers to select year and month. Based on the selection of slicers I need to show previous 12 months of data. Can I achieve this using paramters? If yes, can you show me the way please. It should be flexible to change the values as well to view different range of date values of data.

Also appreciated, if the solution can work for Power BI service as well.

Ex: 

Parameter 1 : 2017, Paramter 2: 08

Output should be like:

2016.09 to 2017.08 data

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Shiva

Hi @ShivaPrasad1

You may try to create measure as below. Here is the reference for you.

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Show-last-13-months-based-on-user-single-slicer-selection/m...

Measure  =
VAR par1 =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Slicer'[Year] )
VAR par2 =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Slicer'[Month] )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table'[YearMonth] ),
        FILTER (
            'Table',
             'Table'[Date]  >= EDATE ( DATE ( par1, par2, 31 ), -11 )
                &&  'Table'[Date]  <= DATE ( par1, par2, 31 )
        )
    )

Sample file is here.

Basically something along the lines of:

Measure =
VAR __param1 = MAX('Table'[Parameter 1])
VAR __param2 = MAX('Table'[Parameter 2])
RETURN SUMX(FILTER('Table',([Year]>=__param1-1&&[Month>__param2)&&([Year]=__param1&&[Month]<=__param2)),[Data])
