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.

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.
My requirement is when a report will be opened in Power BI services by default, the latest date will be selected in a single select slicer.
Consider in import mode there are 10 dates are coming and assigned to a slicer (single select dropdown). By default it shows the older date as the selected date.
I need to do the opposite. It should be the latest date selected by default and if the user wants to select other dates they can change manually. My landing page by default should show the latest date dynamically.
It's not possible to select the latest date in slicer automatically. However, there is a kind of workaround for this which I have explained below.
Just create an additional column using original date like this:
Date 2 = IF('Table'[Date] = TODAY(), "Today", FORMAT('Table'[Date], "MM-DD-YYYY"))
Then use this newly created column in your slicer and manually select 'Today' in that slicer once and publish the file to the Power BI service. So the end user will always see 'Today' selected in a slicer by default which obviously represents the current date.
Note: if you want latest date to be selected which is not necessarily current date then you can create the column below:
Date 2 = IF('Table'[Date] = MAX('Table'[Date]), "Latest Date", FORMAT('Table'[Date], "MM-DD-YYYY"))
Currently, I have a report that displays a series of data that I can filter on the basis of a "date slicer (type 'between')". This slicer works with as specifi column "i_date" because a date table (m_date[date]) is used for the slicer and the "i_date" (from another table "interv") is linked together (1:n relathions).
In this other table there is another date type column with the last modification date of the row (interv[modified]).
Now, when a period is selected with the date slicer, I'd like to show the data where interv[i_date] OR interv[modified] are inside the selected period.
How can I do that ?
Using a new column with the newest date between interv[i_date] OR interv[modified] is not a solution, because in this case if a row is modified after the period, it will not be shown. (because interv[i_date] < interv[modified])
solved with a second slicer simply
I am building a report in Power BI Desktop, created a slicer - YearMonthSort - which has data selection by Year-Month
Plz, see the screenshot below:
My goal is to limit data in this slicer as -
2015-07 to today's date
(whichever it will be when users will look at the data,
in the same format - "YYYY-MM")
In the "Filters" section I can select my starting year as 2015-07,
but having problem setting today's date.
I tried to create the new Measure, but not sure where to place it,
or, may be there is another way to perform this:
IsToday = FORMAT(TODAY(), "mm/yyyy")
I only just started to learn this,
Thank you for help in advance!
You can do the following:
I am assuming that you are using a calendar table that is joined to your fact table on a date field and that your year sort column is calculated with reference to the 'date' field in your calendar table.
Assuming, this is true you can create a calculated column that will flag whether or not the date field is before or after today. This can be achieved by using the following DAX:
IsToday =
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
'Calendar'[Date]
<= NOW (), 1,
0
)
Then, in your visual add a 'Visual Level Filter' using this new column and set it to 1.
I'm not sure I've summarised this question correctly, so I'll add a description below of the actual problem.
We have a report that displays data for 'jobs'. These jobs have a few relevant date fields on them such as Created Date, Completed Date and Invoice Date. We currently have 3 slicers on the report that work as expected based on these dates.
Users sometimes use all 3 slicers at the same time and end up with all sorts of useless data. No matter how many times we've told them to reset the filters before changing the date slicers, they keep forgetting to do that.
They also do not want to have 3 separate reports.
We've been tasked with providing them with the following:
Something that lets them select what they want to filter on, with the options only being Created, Completed or Invoiced
A slicer that works based on the option they selected above.
We've tried creating a calculated column that is set to one of those dates based on the option selected in the disconnected slicer, and then adding a slicer that works off that column, but we aren't having any luck. The values in the calculated column are not correct
This is what we've done in attempting to solve the problem:
Create a measure that captures the selected value
SelectedMeasure = SELECTEDVALUE('Date Filter Options'[Name],"Created Date")
Create a calculated column to set the appropriate date value
Please note we're only testing with two out of the three possible values at the moment.
Selected Date Filter = if(jobs[SelectedMeasure] = "Created Date", (jobs[Created Date (DateOnly)]), (jobs[Completed Date (DateOnly)]))
What we're finding is that the Selected Date Filter column does not update with the correct date value, even after we change the slicer and the measure updates as expected.
We're totally stumped - I'm aware we are probably a fair bit away from the correct solution, so any help would be appreciated
Not quite sure how to best present the data model, but here are the relevant fields of the 'jobs' table
jobNumber: string
jobId: guid
CreatedDate: date
CompletedDate: date
InvoicedDate date
The Date Filter Options table just consists of one column with these options:
"Created Date"
"Completed Date"
"Invoiced Date"
