I am having a power Bi Report which has a slicer the date column is coming from SQL.
I have Current months Dates till 28-june-2022 and Last years dates in Sql till 30 June 2021
I want only Values to be displayed for todays date in the 2021 Slicer and not all the dates till 30
Screenshot of the Slicer is below
I don't want the Yellow Dates I want the dates to get added automatically when i refresh the other day.
I can do this manually with a filter which is not feasible
If I understand your question correctly, you only want a list of dates within the date range of today and last-year's today. That is the same as the last 12 months of dates. You can do this in the filter pane:
Be sure to un-check the 'Include Today' option.
Another option to select a list of dates between any set of dates is with a measure. Use the following measure to define whatever range of dates you would like. I have done the last full year of dates as an example:
DAX_Dates =
CALCULATE(COUNT('Date'[Date]) --Counts number of records
,KEEPFILTERS( --Allows the filter context of the visuals to dynamically evaluate the calculation
DATESBETWEEN('Date'[Date] --Defines a range of dates to apply the calculation
,DATE(YEAR(TODAY())-1,MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY())) --Start Date
,TODAY() --End Date
)
)
)
Next, you can filter the visual with the measure.

I have a report where I have sales data for end of every month. When I see the data in drop down ,I can see the end of month date , but when I have used slicer it shows the entire date range and not only the last day of the month. Is there any way in slicer through which I can just limit the date, so that only last day of month will be shown in slicer ?
If you have a dates table with a date field (named Date, in this case), you could add a column with this code: Table.AddColumn(PreviousStep, "EndOfMonth", each Date.EndOfMonth([Date]), type date)
Hi I am trying to get total YTD amount for last year.
When I select October 2020 my current YTD amount works here is what it looks like :
YTDAmount = TOTALYTD(sum(PCSReport[PD]),PCSReport[PCSMonth])
However, I want to show YTD October 2019 and for some reason it is showing blank. This is the DAX I made :
LYTDAmount = TOTALYTD(sum(PCSReport[PD]), SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(PCSReport[PCSMonth]) )
Since your calculations are correct, here is what might be the problem.
To work with time intelligence functions (TOTALYTD,DATESYTD ... ) you must have at leat one date table with an active relationship to your fact table.
A date table is a table that meets the following requirements:
It must have a column of data type date (or date/time)—known as the date column.
The date column must contain unique values.
The date column must not contain BLANKs.
The date column must not have any missing dates.
The date column must span full years. A year isn't necessarily a calendar year (January-December).
The date table must be marked as a date table.
I have a table containing a date field (from 1 March 2020 to now) that I need to filter to a specific date and the previous 6 days to give complete week's data. So if I chose 30 March I'd get a table of 24 March to 30 March. If I then chose 31 March the table would show 25 March to 31 March.
I can use a date slicer to choose a range of dates but I want to be able to pick a single date, with Power BI automatically selecting the earlier date.
Any pointers much appreciated.
Mark.
You can create two measure - one for Slicer selected date and Another one with 7 day minus from the selected date as below-
Considering your date table name is- Dates
selected_date = SELECTEDVALUE(Dates[Date])
seven_day_starts_from = DATEADD(Dates[Date],-7,DAY)
Now create your calculated measure first like-
total_sales = SUM(Sales[sale])
Here comes how you will always calculate last 7 days sales considering the selected date in the slicer-
7_day_sales =
(
CALCULATE(
[total_sales],
DATESBETWEEN(
'Dates'[Date],
[seven_day_starts_from],
[selected_date]
)
) + 0
)
Remember, this is just a sample flow showing how it should work. You should try to follow the steps with your data and table structure. Dates table is a calendar table and Sales table is connected to the Dates table using the Date column.
I am creating a report with buttons that use a slicer to show the last 3 calendar months, the default view, and YTD. The first two are all set and will continue to work fine, however i am having trouble with the YTD filter because i need it to exclude the current month (some of the key metrics for this slicer are only accurate monthly, even thought the data is updated Daily). Any idea how to accomplish this without me having to manually change it every month? An example of it working today would show me 2020 through August, since September is not complete. September would be included in the filter starting October first. I am thankful for your help/insights!
I typically build a calculated column on my date table called something like "Date in Range", that looks something like the below. You could also apply this to a date in a normal table if you are not using a date dimension.
Date in Range = IF ('MyTable'[Date] <
DATEADD(TODAY(), -1 * DAY(TODAY()), day),
1,
0)
This compares the date in the table row with TODAY(), e.g. 14 Sep 2020, minus the day of the month of today (14), effectively getting you back to the start of the current month. This will then return 1 for dates before the end of last month or 0. Filter on 1 or 0 to get your result (or use something more meaningful in place of the 1 or 0).
Power Bi report uses a date slicer (between) - As a default I want it to set the first date in the slicer as Monday (last week) and the last date as Friday (last week). I dont want this to be a relative date but always must be the previous Mon-Fri. I have a column in my data set that tells me which one is the 'Previous Week' as a text field. I dont know how to use this to set a default slicer value. But i also want to make sure the user can change the slicer dates and it changes as per the user request.
Example today is 01/09/2020
I want my default slicer date as : 24/08/2020 - 28/08/2020
I have two measures which gives me by last week dates:
DefaultSD = MINX( FILTER(Data, [WeeksFilter] = "Previous Week Only"),[Date])
DefaultED = MAXX( FILTER(Data, [WeeksFilter] = "Previous Week Only"),[Date])
I assume this is possible using a DAX expression but dont know how to create this expression to populate these default values.
Please note the data is refreshed up until 01/09/2020 so there is currently data for this week but i dont want this to included in the default slicer on report load
You can't set slicer defaults yet but this can be achieved with relative date filtering.
Select date in the last 1 calendar week:
