dynamic rolling date (last 7 days)

[robertocarlos]

I am simply trying to put a dynamic date filter to show me a filtered result of this table of the last 7 days (Test Date) everytime this report is opened.

The visual filter doesn't have a function for last x days.

I tried multiple things, including the Filter function, Measures but not working.

I even tried calculated date columns with filter but not working

Any help is appreciated.

I also looking for a solution to find a rolling date for my report for the last month.

I want to share my solution. It is a calculated column on the date table.

IsLastMonth = IF('Calendar'[Month]=MONTH(today())-1 && 'Calendar'[Year]=YEAR(TODAY());"Yes";"No") 

And a page/report filter to YES for this column.

Use the DATEDIFF function and an IF statement. This will give you a "Yes" if the date is within the last seven days and a "No" otherwise.

lastSeven = IF(DATEDIFF([Date],TODAY(),DAY)>=7, "Yes", "No")

I don't see you calculating a measure. FILTER returns a table and could not be used as it does not return a scalar value in the filter context. I had a similar problem, where I needed the past 5 weeks, and used the CALCULATE function like:

SumKGpast5Weeks:=CALCULATE(Sum([QuantityWeight]),DimDate[WeekBeginDate]>=TODAY()-42)

In this case, I needed always the totals for the past 5 weeks from the beginning of the week. So I created a column with the week-begin for each date. You can of course change this to your expression, but you need to have a measure calculated.

For some reason it didn't work.

I tried the following formuila below to get only the dates between last 5 days,

TestDate Caluclated Column = DATESBETWEEN(table[TestDateTime (bins)],(TODAY()-5),TODAY())

but it would give me an error

A table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected.

I am simply trying to find a way so when the report is opened it defaults the date to last 5 days

DateColumn	Column 1	Column 2	Column 3
11/15/2016	1	1	1
11/14/2016	0	2	0
11/13/2016	1	1	1
11/12/2016	1	0	1
11/11/2016	0	1	0
11/10/2016	1	1	1
11/9/2016	1	1	1
11/8/2016	0	2	0
11/7/2016	1	1	1
11/6/2016	1	0	1

Hey Robertocarlos,

My apologies, I had the less than symbol backwards. It should be <=7 instead of >=7.

Use that calculated column and place it as a page-level filter with it's value set to 'Yes'. This should filter out everything except rows where the Date Column is in the last 7 days.

Are you using a measure or a column?

I am trying to display the last 2 days data so data from yesterday and the day before. I am using a measure as is:

last_2_days = IF(DATEDIFF('Date'[Date],TODAY(),DAY)<=2, "Yes", "No") but having an issue with this field 'Date'[Date].

It returns a single value for column date in table 'Date' cannot be determined...

So if I understand the formula you posted here it looks between 2 dates and if the difference is lower than 2 it will return YES and under the filter you add it there and if the value is Yes than the data will show.

So I have a date table with a relationship to my impression table to the date field. I want to display the total impressions from 2 days before today... (yesterday and the day before)

How do I do that?

Thanks th3h0bb5,

It worked.

I wonder though, if there is another way to use the Date Filter directly.. but Thanks so much
