Filtered measures through slicer

[Zalexatwork]

Hello again,

I have a set of data that gives me one reservation slot on a specific date and its status (reserved/ not reserved) for every row.
One day features multiples reservation slots.

My slicer uses a table that only has one row per date, linked to all the other table's dates.

I am trying to use the Gauge graph to show me the reserved % during a specific time period ( with a slicer that filters the whole report, for everyone to use).
My measure is the sum of reserved slots on the overall slots (converted in binary with reserved = 1 and not reserved = 0).
My results as of yet are unconclusive: my mesure does ot seem to be affected by the date change of the slicer.

While searching for an answer I have only found more questions :

- I have seen comments of slicers beeing coded directly on a table, instead of using the visual slicer tool available, is there a specific advantage of doing so ?

- If my slicer is already created, how do I access the slicers name in code in order to implement something like the code of the exemple above ? (i.e is there a 'developpers window' à la visual basic in excel to see how all my graphs are actually coded?).
- Does that make it possible to create a slicer on a slicer ? i.e if i wanted my report to show the last two weeks, but some graphs only to show the last week, could I have just the one slicer, manually set to a certain period of time, and another that would automatically set itself to the last week of the previous slicer?


Any answer (or even just a link to related tutorial) would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @Zalexatwork ,

Can you provide some sample data and corresponding expected results?

Hello,

I believe the issue in the end was with my formula and not the slicer as on another graph i have been able to use the slicer on a measure with no issue.
For the last point (slicer on a slicer) I may have a solution wich I will post here if it works, hoping to do that today.

I'd need to see the data model, but a few things:

1. Ensure you have connected the Date[Date] field to the Date field in the fact table in the relationship view.
2. Ensure the date types are the same. I've been in a hurry and left a date as text, so visually it looked like "12/31/2020" but that is not a date and date calcs and slicers won't work. I would make sure they are both Date format, not date time or anything else.
3. Ensure the slicer is, in fact, the date table date, not the fact table date.
