We would like to have a Date selection slicer which allows the report viewer to decide which type of slicer to use: relative/between/etc.
Nowadays I have both users who like 'relative' slicer and users who like 'between' slicer. Because of that I have to waste space on my reports by including both types of slicers, only because there is no option for end user to manually change it:
Instead I would like the end user to decide, some sugestions how it could look like:

- jogruNew MemberI also support this! In case anyone stumbles across this, so far I did it with two bookmarks and two slicers on top of each other. In each bookmark one of the slicers was invisible and reset, and the other one was visisble and active. Then I had a button to switch between modes/bookmarks.

The slicer does not auto update so even though we have the slicer, it doesn't update with a new added date in the data which is super frustrating.
- andyclapAdvocate IVAbsolutely agree! It's beyond me why there's 1001 half-baked graphical charts on the visualization store, but no decent date slicer.
