Using SelectedValue with Field Parameter (Prior Period Title Change) - powerbi

Down below I have my company's sample sales report. I'm trying to achieve the following:
-In the red square, when a value is selected, the title, instead of "Month-1, Month-2", replace with "12/31/2022, 11/30/2022 etc..)
Here's what I've done:
-I'm using field paramater, and in the name i'm using selected value to attempt to dynamically update the column title. (see 2nd screen shot)
-The SelectedValue will pass through the card, and display without problem (see first screen shot, purple underline), but failed to display as a column title, (see red square, screen shot 1)
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Peter

If you are trying to filter a visualization, you need to:
Click the visualization to select it.
Click the "Filter" button on the left of the screen.
Click "Add filter"
Select the column you want to use for the filter (in this case "gap point value").
Edit the filter, and select the value "REVIEW", then click "Apply".

How to conditionally format text in PowerBi

Is there a way to conditionally format my table so I can add a bar like below? (it was created in excel)
Image I want to create:
I am currently stuck with the following - I highlighted the dates but need to know how I can highlight the holidays in my table with that grey color. (the picture below uses Thanksgiving as the example). My goal is to highlight each individual holiday in the table in grey.
Image I need to conditionally format
Here is what I tried with the formula provided below:
Attempt
You need a date dimension that has an attribute like isHoliday.
Create a measure where you specify the color in the Hex Code format ("#A1A1A1")
for instance:
measure_color_coding_holiday = SWITCH ( TRUE (), 'Date'[IsHoliday] = "yes", "#808080", 'Date'[IsHoliday] = "No", "#FFFFFF" )
Go to the conditional formatting for the column > Background Color. Choose Field value and pick the new measure.

How do I disable the hyperlink in Power BI Text Boxes?

If I add a Measure to a Text Box that simply calls the TODAY() function, the date becomes a hyperlink on the Report Tab.
How do I disable this hyperlink? I simply want to show today's date.
The steps that I used to add a Measure to the text box are below.
In the Data Page, create a Measure named Report Date = TODAY().
On the Visuals Page, click Text box in the Insert group of the Home tab of the ribbon bar.
Click + Value
In the text box labeled How would you calculate this value, type Report Date.
Click Save.
The text box now shows todays date. However, it is also a hyperlink with nowhere to go.
The only alternative is a Card or a Table.
I was able to produce a nice business card by using a calculated column like:
CardText = [clientdescription] & UNICHAR(10) & [ServiceContactName] & UNICHAR(10) & [ServiceAddress1] & UNICHAR(10) & [ServiceCity] & ", " & [ServiceState] & " " & [ServiceZipCode]
and set the Text box to CardText.
The UNICHAR(10) function embeds a line break in the CardText string.
This is nice because you can left-align the text (which you cannot do with a Card Visual).
This also updates when aligned with a Slicer.
However, the Text box shows the CardText as a hyperlink. There is no hyperlink address, and therefore, nothing to remove.
A text box that simply allows us to set text, alignment and all font properties (color, weight, font, size, italics, underline, bold, etc.) would be a godsend.
When the report is published, there will be no hyperlink behaviour on the date in the text box. The hyperlink behaviour is only present in Power BI desktop. Clicking on the hyperlink will open up the settings for the value, so you can edit them.
And you can totally control the font, size, color, etc of that text. Just select the date as it shows in the text box and use the formatting tools. Like with Constantia font in 16 pt and pink.
If you don't want the hyperlink behaviour, consider using the measure in the Title of the text box instead of the body. You can also add the measure to the title of any other visual. To do that, you first need a measure that returns text, since the Title of a visual cannot show dates.
ReportDateText = format(TODAY(),"dddd, dd MMM YYYY")
Now you can edit the title property of a visual.
Turn the title on
Click the formula button to open the dialog
Select the measure with the text version of the date
The result shows in the visual's title.

How to write a query based on the Date item, in interactive grid

I have a date field and a interactive grid. I am trying to generate the Interactive grid based on the value inputted in the date field.
I am trying to write the query as below :
select pap.effective_start_date , pap.effective_end_date
from per_all_people_f pap
where :SELECT_DATE between pap.effective_start_date and
pap.effective_end_date
Here, SELECT_DATE is the name of the Date field (datatype Date picker). I am writing a dynamic action on Change of Date field, and refreshing the interactive grid region.
But when I change the value in Date field, it doesn't return any rows.
I have done a similar change where my interactive grid was based on a dropdown. There I had to set the "page action on selection" to Submit, and it worked. But here, since it is a Date field, the "Page Action on selection" property doesn't appear on the page .
Can somebody please suggest, how can I achieve this.
You need to explicitly convert your bind variables, which are treated as strings, to dates.
to_date(:SELECT_DATE)
The format mask will come from the application properties, or you can be explicit with that, too.
