I want to change visualisations with a time period slicer.
This is an example of a page for a single month of data. I would like to have a time slicer that would allow me to select different months/time periods and show me the relevant data.
I thought about using buttons with bookmarks to be able to click between different months, but it is not feasible when more months come in. All the guides on the internet show how to change visualisations with time as an axis, so I don't know where to look.
Please let me know if there is a better way to do this!
In your data sources add separate column for date (or you can use existing column for that)
Next you have to create calendar from power bi or insert excel sheet, Its better to create calendar from power bi.
Then you need to make sure all the date columns are in date format. And make relationship between columns.
power bi desktop
Drag and drop created date column to the calendar column.
Then you have global slicer that affect to your selected visualization.
From slicer you can change slicer visualization as you want

I need support of yours for my query.
Currently i have set of records which includes date column as well.
Here on click of a button, i need to check current date and show previous 30 days data.
If any one give me idea on how to do this in Power Bi it will be really helpful.
Thanks
I have a dashboard with two slicers. First slicer is selecting stages of building homes ( trench, frame, roof etc) second slicer is end date time. Both slicers are using the fields exist in the same table. Users want to select two stages lets say stageA and stageB, and the date selection is 12/1/2022 to 1/1/2023 now we have stages with end date time in a table view. In the future users want to see even if latest stage is within the date slicer it doesnt matter even if the earlier stage is within the date slicer or "before" they want to see it SO THAT they can look at these two date's variance! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks !
I have been looking online for one week, couldn't find any solution
In Power BI, I am creating a grid to show specific data in a time period. I want the grid to update everyday to show the data corresponding month to date. I want my data to represent 9/7 - 10/7 and tomorrow I want it to update to show 9/8-10/8. Essentially I want a measure in DAX to display all data from month to date.
You can do this from relative date filter in the right side tabs,
Select visualization and their is filter for date,
try with above method.
I have a Power BI report in which i want users to select "Period Type" in drop down. and when they chose values like Monthly or quarterly it should dynamically change the slicer values to monthly or quarterly.
example is given below.
When Period Type Is Selected To Montlhy

When Period Type Is Selected To Quarterly

And i have data set with DimDate Table and FactSales Table. Both are joined Table with One to Many relationship.
Your question looks tailor made for a visual from the marketplace. Check the following link out:
https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/power-bi-visuals/WA104380786?tab=Overview
This slicer will let you choose the frequency and then your slicer will change to reflect that. You can download this from the marketplace. If you have not done this before, you can do this by selecting "Import from marketplace" option after clicking on the 3 dots at the end of the Visualization tab. Hope this helps.
I'd like to slice across visuals based on dates in MS Power BI (i.e., one filter for say month will slice all visuals for that time period.
I created a date table from http://www.agilebi.com.au/power-bi-date-dimension/ to link to the date columns in each table.
I connected xlsx workbook.

I added tried to edit the relationship so connect the 2 date columns. However, when I insert the filter using the date_table as values and try to use it, the visuals disappear.
Visuals are Gone
However, when I create the slicer and slice across multiple visuals, they go blank.
**I tried changing the type to "Both" but it didn't fix the problem.
The script at AgileBI.com.au creates a date table with a 'Date' field that has a data type of text. You can (surprisingly) do a relationship between 2 fields of different data types and not get an error. However, a join between a text field that contains dates, and a regular date field will mean that rows that look like they should match up do not.
You can confirm this is happening by picking a value in the 2 tables that you think should match up and seeing if they are identical. In my case, I had Tuesday, November 01, 2016 in my imported table, and 11/1/2016 in the other table. While they both represent the same date (in the US), they clearly look different. A good place to see this is in the Edit Relationship screen (and it definitely would have been helpful to include a screenshot of that in your original post).
Anyway, if the dates in your table don't match up to the corresponding (text) dates in the Date table, then when you filter to "2016" on your slicer, the visuals will all go blank.
I would recommend:
Click Edit Queries
On the left hand side, select the table of dates (called Invoked Function by the script)
Click on the header for the Date column (it will likely already be selected)
Select Transform on the ribbon
Change the Data Type from Any to Date
Click Home > Close & Apply
Hope this helps.
