Modelling best practice to avoid redundant measures

Hi everyone,
I have three base measures in my model : Plan, Actual, and Forecast, plus a calculated Actual + Forecast (LE).
I need to allow users to toggle between two things using slicers:

  1. Metric: Plan, Actual, Forecast, and Actual + Forecast.
  2. Period/Agg: Weekly, Monthly, Yearly (both for the periodic value and the running total).
    The suggestion I’ve received is to go with a mix of Calculation Groups (for time intelligence) and Field Parameters (for the base measure selection). I want something which can seamlessly work on card and table/matrix visuals. Looking forward to more ideas from the pros

Disconnected table for Date slicer

Hi, I'm running into an issue where my slicer from master date table is filtering out the data I need for a matrix visual, so I've opted for a disconnected table (⁠created using SELECTCOLUMNS for the required fields ⁠) for my report slicers.Is this the right way to handle this?
