08:00 You were the only one who explained what to do after selecting a date range in custom. Then, if we switch to default...

[@darkoregulic7332]

Just started out with PBI, this helped a lot, thanks !

[@sankarammabachalli4296]

Nice information, this was helpful for me to implemented logic. Thank you so much for valuable information.

[@ganeshraju443]

Thank you sir, it's really helpful. But my user wants both in a single slicer, he wants it defaultly 90 days and it should be override also to select custom dates. Is there any way to it sir?

[@Dorababu-wq9os]

Same requirement, if you find the solution, please share it to me. It will be very helpful to me. Thank you

[@stephengessling7645]

Really nice work, frustrating that Microsoft hasn't been able to update the slicer to default to today

[@abraksas94]

Thanks! This is a good approach, but when you have several tables connected to calendar, duplicated values and many to many relations create mess... Is there any option so stay with distinct unique values in calendar?

[@pilarsastre518]

Can that table be defined as a Date table to support Time Intelligence?

[@sandeepmehra6843]

This proved to be really helpful, thanks for putting it out there,

[@MITutorials]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tuidornelles]

Thank you, sir! It helped me a lot!

[@sivapk626]

Thank you for your effort and this video bro. If we select the Custom and Select the From_Date and Change the To_Date to previous 20 days date. Now the Default button is hidden.? Why? this is happening?

[@InfotainingMemes]

Thanks, very helpful. I was just curious if we can do more than two values, custom - default - last 10 days - last month - this year and so on. All this on the selection slicer.

[@MITutorials]

Yes you can. In the Dates filter table where I added new columns, you need to add more columns there and you will be able to add as many selection criteria you want.

[@MuthuRaman-e6z]

Nice video. Is it possible for me to get the PBIX file?. I am not able to set date filter to reset when i change it. Also your toggle button looks good and not able to achieve it either

Thanks, this is a very useful video. my data dates consist only recent date for example january 1 - april 9 only. i need to show april 9 as latest default but on power bi web sometimes it shows the date between. how can i show my latest date as a default? i'm using a dropdown list for duration

[@cletusfinkalburg2594]

I am trying this method but I have an issue where the 'Custom dates' selections excludes the 'default' date selections... any advice?

If i want to show only first of each month in a between slicer how to change the query for this or do we have any other solution for this please help

[@vsone9565]

Hi, I'm getting an error on the custom table with a date value that i'm using - similarly a client order date field: "A date column containing duplicate dates was specified in the call to function 'DATESBETWEEN'. This is not supported." What can be done here to fix the error? Ex. the dates have duplicates because 2 clients can order something on the same date

[@MITutorials]

Do you have a calendar table in your model ?

[@vsone9565]

@@MITutorials Yes, however i only added it after reading some of your other comments - how do you recommend i use the calendar table? in this case, it is seperate from my date value that i am slicing with

[@vcb01]

I do have same error, is there any solution for it?

[@vsone9565]

​@@vcb01 For now, I found some workarounds by using 2 blank buttons, and assigning pre-filtered bookmark views to each button with one "between" date slicer and one "relative" date slicer. Each slicer is on top of each other, but hidden when other respective bookmark is turned on. So when a user selects a "Last 30 days" button, it shows last 30 days slicer and bookmarked view, and when the user selects "Custom", the relative slicer turns off and between turns on for custom range. ex. Bookmark 1 = Relative date slicer visible, set to default "Last 30 days" Button text = "Last 30 days" Between Slicer = Hidden Bookmark 2 = Between date slicer visible, set to custom date Button Text = "Custom" Relative Slicer = Hidden

[@ozerius76]

Hey, what if need more then one? i need last 7 days and 14 Days. Thanx

[@ozerius76]

Made it 🙂

[@user-re5uv2mm2h]

Is it possible to make a default date like last 7 days, BUT, user can easily change the preferred date without the need to click CUSTOM?

[@MITutorials]

It is not advised to do that because the user will then not know whether he is looking at last 7 days data or the custom dates that he has selected.

[@user-re5uv2mm2h]

@@MITutorials what I mean is the default view of date range should be last 7 days so for example the last 7 days will be feb17-24. So the default start date of the filtef would be feb 17 and end date would be feb 24 for today. But can the users change it directly to change the start date to feb 1 without having the need of creating clicking a "custom" button?

[@javieralejandromartinezmon8501]

That example would be very helpful

how to set it for default today and when clicked on custom it should show all dates

[@joshcastonguay9491]

Randomly watching this on September 6th 2023, threw me off when you called out the date lol. Thanks for this, worked perfectly!

[@Studio_17]

Is there any way for the Default selection to automatically clear the Custom selection without the 'Clear' button?

[@MITutorials]

You can try to disable the slicer using the method below. Hope this helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nV6XqGuNpZWVp8k

[@DHales-hh5bb]

How do you create the relationship between the tables? the date table is a union and the relationship fails as the date table is not unique

[@MITutorials]

Do you have a calendar table ?

[@DHales-hh5bb]

​@@MITutorials I do, I'm guessing this is failing because I do not have unique dates in my sales table
