Hi @randomUser21 ,

You can use the relative date slicer or filter to apply time-based filters to any date column in your data model. 

For how to create it ,you may follow the steps below:

1.Create a Slicer visual for your report and then select a date value for the Field value.
2.Select the slicer, and in the Format pane, under Visual > Slicer settings > Options, change the Style to Relative Date.
You can then select the settings in the date slicers.
For the first setting, you have the following choices: Last, Next, This.
In the second (middle) setting in the relative date slicer, you enter a number to define the relative date range.
In the third setting, you pick the date measurement. You have the following choices: Days, Weeks, Weeks (Calendar), Months, Months (Calendar), Years, Years (Calendar).

If I misunderstood your needs,please be free to correct me.

Best regards.

I know this alternative but it does not allow you to select personalized periods.
I only want to pre-select by default between the 1st of the month and today's date. and give the user the possibility to choose a personalized period
