Configure a default range for a date slicer with specific dates from data columns

[TrkSml9822]

Hi everyone,

Thank you in advance for reading my post. 

As the title of my thread states, I am having a hard time configuring my slicer date with a default range.

The upper and lower date bounds are specified within the data I receive. I tried using a calculated column containing dates within this range and sort of integrate it into my data model but this appears to take me nowhere.

I would be delighted to find some thoughts on this one.

Thank you again, 

regards.

This can be done with a single slicer value by substituting your column values with their text equivalent and replacing the target value with a default ( like "Current snapshot")  but I don't think this can be done with a range slicer.  Can you give an example of the business case?

Hi @lbendlin ,

Thank you for your response. I am not sure If I m grasping your idea.

Basically, I have a date slicer which is synchronized along the pages of my report.

Let us say I have a custom table which consists of 3 columns and one row :

Beginning_date     Ending_date    Refresh_date

01/09/2021           07/09/2021      07/09/2021

My client wants to put the range of all his date slicers by default to the range defined by this custom table.

Do you think it is feasible ?

Thank you in advance.

I don't think so. The approach I mentioned only works for single select, not for ranges.

See if there is a custom slicer visual that supports range modification.
