Time Slicer

[frostys]

Hi !

I put a time slicer in a report :

The data come directly from a "date" column. 

I try to make an automatic selection for the current year and current month selected. (Exemple: if I select june 2018, it auto select january-may. If I select january 2019 it auto select january-december 2018).

Thank a lot !

So the way I would do this is through changing the measure you are using for the visuals.

something like this should work, when a single month is selected it will calculate the specificd measure from the start of the calendar year to the previous month.

Measure =
IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( DateTable[Month] ),
    CALCULATE (
        [Measure],
        DATESBETWEEN (
            DateTable[Date],
            DATE ( YEAR ( MAX ( DateTable[Date] ) ), 1, 1 ),
            EOMONTH ( MAX ( DateTable[Date] ), -1 )
        )
    )
)

I change some syntax who were not working, so this is the syntax who work

date2 = 

IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( 'Data input'[Date].[Month] );
    CALCULATE (
        
        DATESBETWEEN (
            'Data input'[Date].[Date];
            DATE ( YEAR ( MAX ( 'Data input'[Date].[Date] ) ); 1; 1 );
            EOMONTH ( MAX ( 'Data input'[Date].[Date] ); -1 )
        )
    )
)
        

Otherwise, is is not accept this measure as slicer

HI @frostys,

Current power bi not support to create dynamic calculated column/table based on slicer/filter.

In addition, measure is possible to dynamic change based on slicer/filter, but power bi not support to use as source of slicer or axis of visual.

So does the measure work for your needs?

The reason you had to make the changes are two fold

1. You are in a different region hence the , vs ;

2. You do not have a datetable linked to your data table hence having to use the inbuilt datetable.
