Setting the Default Value of a Slicer on power bi - powerbi

I want to set default filter of this week to slicer.However ,every answer use the option list.
if(weeknum(now())=weeknum([mydate]),"current week",[mydate]).
I selected the bar and choose start date with end date to filter date.On the previous way it's work on option-list but not on bar.
Any ideas?

I'd go about this in two ways.
Create a slicer which is used to calculate the week:
ThisWeek = if(weeknum(now) = weeknum(date), "Yes", "No")
It is however worth noting that if you have a data set that contains dates over several years it could show more data than required. In this case I would create the below column and use a Slicer based off of that.
ThisWeek = if(weeknum(now) = weeknum(date && year(now) = year(date), "Yes", "No")
You can then setup the interactions to filter your date slicer so the default range would be set as the value defined within "ThisWeek"
Alternately you could create a page filter which only shows records for this week. Again you would use the same format as above however there would be no need for the slicer.

Power BI - Cell should be coloured once I select it

I have created a table in Power BI and it has deal names, deal stage, amount, sales region etc. Is there any way, where if I select the deal name - it should be coloured or highlighted and stay like that unless i remove it?
You can make it this way. Create an additional table with Label (column which you use to slice/select) don't add relationship!. For example, I want to highlight Day from the selected month (not filtering). We need to create a measure to check what is pickedup
WhatISelected = var __label = SELECTEDVALUE(MonthLabel[Calendar[Month]]])
return
if (SELECTEDVALUE(Query1[Calendar[Month]]]) = __label, 1,0)
Then go to conditional Formating:
Repeat for every column.
As you see below, I Select February.

Power BI - Creating a calculated table

I am creating a dashboard in Power BI. I have to report the executions of a process in a daily basis. When selecting one of these days, I want to create another calculated table based on the day selected (providing concrete information about the number of executions and hours) as it follows:
TABLE_B = FILTER(TABLE_A; TABLE_A[EXEC_DATE] = [dateSelected])
When [dateSelected] is previously calculated from the selected day as it follows:
dateSelected = FORMAT(FIRSTDATE(TABLE_A[EXEC_DATE]);"dd/MM/yyyy")
I tried a lot of alternatives as, for example, create individualy the year, month and day to later compare. I used the format in both sides of the comparation, but none of them works for me. The most of the cases it returns me the whole source table without any kind of filters. In other cases, it doesn't return anything. But, when I put a concrete day ...
TABLE_B = FILTER(TABLE_A; TABLE_A[EXEC_DATE] = "20/02/2019")
... it makes the filter correctly generating the table as I want.
Does someone know how to implement the functionality I am searching for?
Thanks in advance.
You're almost there Juan. You simply need to use dateSelected as a varialbe inside of your DAX query:
TABLE_B =
var dateSelected = FIRSTDATE(TABLE_A[EXEC_DATE])
return
FILTER(TABLE_A, TABLE_A[EXEC_DATE] = dateSelected)
Note that all my dates are formatted as Date so I didn't need to use a FORMAT function.
Here's the final result:
I admit that this behavior can be quite confusing! Here is a useful link that will help you understand Power BI's context:
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Filtering-table-by-measures/td-p/131361
Let's treat option 1 as FILTER(TABLE_A; TABLE_A[EXEC_DATE] = "20/02/2019") and option 2 as FILTER(TABLE_A; TABLE_A[EXEC_DATE] = [dateSelected]). Quote from the post:
In option 1, in the filter function, you are iterating
over each row of your 'Table' (row context). In option 2, because you
are using a measure as part of the filter condition, this row context
is transformed into an equivalent filter context (context transition).
Using variables (...) is very convenient when you want to filter
a column based on the value of a measure but you don't want context
transition to apply.

How to select the last value of the day with DAX in Power BI

I am new to power BI and stuck with an issue. I have my model as follows:
Date Dimension
Measurement Fact
The date column in Date Dimension is link to measuredate in Measurement Fact
Below is a sample data:
NB: In edit query, I have changed the type of measuredate to Date only.
I have tried the measure below but it doesn't work the way I want. It will sum all the values of the day but what I want is the last value of the day:
day_fuel_consumption =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( measurement[measurementvalue] ),
FILTER (
measurement,
measurement[metername] = "C-FUEL"
&& measurement[measuredate] = MAX ( measurement[measuredate] )
)
)
My Goal is to get 29242, i.e the last value of the day. Remember that measuredate is a Date field and not Datetime (I changed to Date field so that my Year and Month filter can work correctly). I have changed the type in edit query.
Changing your measure to use a variable could be the solution:
DFC =
var maxDate = MAX(measurement[measuredate])
return
CALCULATE(
SUM(measurement[measurementvalue]),
measurement[measuredate] = maxDate
)
However, you should keep the datetime format for measureDate. If you don't want to see the time stamp just change the format I power bi. Otherwise power bi will see two values with max date and sum them, instead of taking the last one.
Well, if you want to avoid creating a measure, you could drag the fields you are filtering over to the visual filters pane. Click your visual, and scroll a tiny bit and you will see the section I am referring to. From there, just drag the field you are trying to filter In this case, your value. Then select "Top N". It will allow you to select a top (number) or bottom (number) based on another field. Strange enough, it does allow you to do top value by top value. It doesn't make sense when you say it out loud, but it works all the same.
This will show you the top values for whatever value field you are trying to use. As an added bonus, you can show how little or how many you want, on the fly.
As far as DAX goes, I'm afraid I am a little DAX illiterate compared to some other folks that may be able to help you.
I had to create two separate measures as shown below for this to work as I wanted:
max_measurement_id_cf = CALCULATE(MAX(measurement[measurementid]), FILTER(measurement, measurement[metername] = "C-FUEL"))
DFC =
var max_id_cf = [max_measurement_id_cf]
return
CALCULATE(SUM(measurement[measurementvalue]), measurement[measurementid] = max_id_cf)

Display Matched and Non Matched Values based on a slicer value Power BI

I am working on a Viewership table which tells which customer watches which asset. Based on the asset filter, I need to display the customers who watched the show & customers who didn't watched the show. below is my example table
If the asset_id selected as 1 in the slicer, the desired output will be as below
I have tried creating a cross-join table with asset_id and customer_id , but that approach taking much time with large data. Request the experts here to suggest the best optimal solution to achieve this.
First, create a new table "Asset":
This table contains unique assets, and we will use it to create a slicer that affects DAX measure but does not affect the visual (table). To achieve that, the Asset table must be disconnected from the Viewership table (no relationships).
In your viewership table, I just renamed "asset" to "asset_id", to be consistent:
Next, create a measure:
Status =
VAR Selected_Asset = SELECTEDVALUE(Asset[asset_id])
VAR Customer_Asset = SELECTEDVALUE(Viewership[asset_id])
RETURN
IF(Customer_Asset = Selected_Asset, "Watched", "Not Watched")
Result:
Slicer here is created from the "Asset" table, and table is a table visual with customer_id and asset_id from the Viewership table (set them as "don't summarize" values). I turned off "total", assuming you don't need it.
This design requires to set Asset slicer to "single selection" mode, to make sure that you are only getting one value from it. If you want the model to work with multi-select slicer, change DAX measure as follows:
Multi Status =
VAR Selected_Assets = ALLSELECTED(Asset[asset_id])
VAR Customer_Asset = SELECTEDVALUE(Viewership[asset_id])
RETURN
IF(Customer_Asset IN Selected_Assets, "Watched", "Not Watched")
Result:
Edit:
To make it work at the customer level:
Customer Status =
VAR Selected_Assets = ALLSELECTED(Asset[asset_id])
VAR Customer_Assets = VALUES(Viewership[asset_id])
VAR Assets_Watched = COUNTROWS(INTERSECT(Customer_Assets, Selected_Assets))
RETURN
IF(Assets_Watched > 0, "Watched", "Not Watched")
Result:
Explanation: store selected assets in a table variable. Then, store assets visible per customer in another table variable. Find an intersect of the two tables (what they have in common), and count intersect rows. If none - not watched, otherwise watched. If you want, you can actually display the number of movies watched (just return "Assets_Watched" instead of IF statement).

Obtain MAX of column and display for each row

I'm trying to obtain the MAX of a particular column in a Power BI Report and place this as a new Measure within each ROW of the same dataset. Please see the example below.
Is this possible in DAX and via DirectQuery/LiveConnection? The report is pointing to a tabular model but due to outside factors the measure must be created in the report.
Thanks
You can accomplish this a few ways. Essentially, you need override the filter context so that the MAX function isn't just running over whatever slice you're showing in the visual. Using CALCULATE or the iterator function MAXX, set the wrap the table in the ALL() function to override the context and calculate max over all rows.
= CALCULATE(MAX([Calendar`Year]), ALL('Smithfield_Fiscal_Calendar'))
or
= MAXX(ALL('Smithfield_Fiscal_Calendar'), [Calendar`Year])
To get the breakout by date, you'll need to include a Date table in your model. PowerBI makes this possible with a few different DAX options. As an example, go to your Model tab, click 'New Table' and put in the following expression:
MyCalendar = CALENDAR(DATE(2019,1,1), DATE (2019,1,10))
This is a little trivial -- you'd want to use a useful range of dates but this one matches your example above. Next, add a column to [MyCalendar]
CalendarMonthYear = month([date]) & "-" & year([date])
Go to your budget table and add a similar field
BudgetMonthYear = month([date]) & "-" & year([date])
Go into your Model view and create a relationship between CalendarMonthYear and BudgetMonthYear. This will associate every date in the date table with the particular budget row from your budget table.
Hope it helps.
