Date slicer not allowing to date entry or slider

[sp8]

I have a date slicer on a field that is set to data type date. The slicer will let me enter a from date but not a to date. It also won't let me use the slider. (I suspect the issues are related.) The little i says "data range not available."

I added a filter to the visual to not include blank dates, but that doesn't fix it.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Slicer:

Format of the field in the slicer:

When I try to click the slider button, it just keeps turning off. 

I even made sure that there are no blank values passed to the slicer.

 Thanks. That's a nice workaround and technically makes the slider work as a slider.
 
 It would work if I had fixed dates or was in import mode (which is not my situation), but it did give me the direction I needed to solve the issue.
 
Since I'm in Direct Query, I had to make an SQL query to generate the date table or else the import table would be stuck with whatever dates I originally put in since I don't ever do a data refresh.
One note in case somebody else wants to use this: you have to set up a 2-way relationship or else filtering by another field (like customer) won't allow the date slicer to adjust to an appropriate range and you'll end up with a huge reange with no resolution.

Hi @sp8 ,

I suggest you create a calendar table in your data model, please refer to https://kohera.be/blog/power-bi/how-to-create-a-date-table-in-power-bi-in-2-simple-steps/, create one to many relationship between your  calendar table and fact table and use data column in calendar table for slicer.
