I have a list of invoices for varying days. In the same report, I want to show a table of invoices created the previous day and another table showing invoices created in the previous week.
How do I limit what data is in the tables? I can create the table fine, but it shows everything; the only way I can limit it is by page-level filters, but i want these two tables on the same page.

I was working on a data set and had few queries on how to model the data.
I have two FACT tables with the following fields
Budget table
Team Category
Team name
Service line
ID
ID_name
Employee Name
Rank
Location
Employee category
Week ending date
Hours
Revenue
Cost
Revenue or hours category
Actuals table**
Team Category
Team
Service line
ID
ID_name
Employee Name
Rank
Location
Employee category
Week ending date
Hours
Revenue
Cost
Many to many relationship exists between the tables. I have created a calendar table and a Service line table to help me filter across tables which are created as DIM tables.
The initial output I am looking for will look like the attached image
Output visual
Similar tables to be created based on Team category and Team name
I tried to follow two approaches – first one by maintaining them as separate tables and creating multiple measures for the each of the required fields. However, I was not able to get to the attached table visual
Secondly, I appended the two tables by adding an additional column named Budget and Actuals to the respective tables. Then, Hours, Revenue, Cost was unpivoted and made as the attribute. Measures were created for actuals, revenue = E, forecast, budget and variance. In this scenario, I could recreate the above output. But, could not create revenue per hour and cost per hour metrices
Can someone guide on how to move about this data model.
There are couple of other DIM tables that can be created, but that doesn't save space or is useful in filtering
I have a sql database linked where I have the complete history of products and users. I want to the user to be able to select on the slicer a year and the data automatically shows active prodcuts, expired products and new products added in that year (or snapshot).
Is there a way this can be done? I am not able to find a measure to best do this for me.
I recommend creating a date dimension table first - I usually call mine Calendar. Please read this useful post by Radacad which will show you how to create one > https://radacad.com/power-bi-date-or-calendar-table-best-method-dax-or-power-query
Once it's done create relationships between your fact tables and calendar table on key dates of when your products are active or expired - I'm making a huge assumption that's what your tables store.
Your calendar table will then act as a single time/date point of truth and should be used to slice and dice your fact table.
Hope this helps!
I am a beginer to Power BI
I have loaded an sql table to power BI dataset. The table keeps udating with new records frequently. How can I always pull the data of the latest five records into the dashboard. There as id no which keeps growing with the no of rows.
another question, how can I show the dashboard specific to the current working day only? There is date stamp in the sql data. How can i use it? With filter I am able to select a particular date but to set it to current day or last week etc.
Thanks in advance.
If your data doesn't contain any field which would tell you, what then latest rows are, the there's not much you can do here. Apparently you have some sort of timestamp there, so a query something like this could work as the datasource for your report:
SELECT TOP 5 field1, field2... FROM Table ORDER BY Timestamp DESC
To your second question, you can add a reletive date filter: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/desktop-slicer-filter-date-range
I have a big report that has 30+ pages
I have created a new page for filters
I added the Month filter in the filter page, this report is going to be filtered based on that month filter.
When I select a month, the filter works only for its page, does not apply filter for the whole report
How can I make filter apply for the whole report
PS : I have added the month to the report level filters, but this is not what I want.
This report is need filter control
If you have the same slicer across multiple pages, then I'd recommend syncing them as explained in slicer documentation page.
Image from that page:
I have two tables showing country data in PowerBI, one table contains sales data in different countries and another shows stats about each country. I then have a dashboard that has a chart from each table. I want a single filter that filters on the country column in both tables.
i.e. If I filter on the US, I will get a chart showing sales data in the US and a chart showing other stats about the US.
The country columns have duplicate values in both tables so doing a relationship between them is difficult. Moreover the tables are not really related to each other as such, I just to filter the data in both so my dashboard updates both charts. Any help?
Create a table that just has the list of unique countries and make a relationship from that table to both other tables. Then use that table for your filter, rather than the country column of either of the two original tables.
