Custom Date Range Selector - Basic filters for dates

Hi,

 

I am creating a custom date range selector using a React component. I have confirmed that my component correctly passes a start and end date, which I then use to create an array of dates that I want to filter my data with in Power BI. 

 

When I run my visual in PBI Service and select my data range I see no change the data I am trying to filter. It leads me to believe I am apply the fillter incorrectly. I searched and tried a lot of different approaches but still haven't gotten it to work.

 

Does any one know what I am doing wrong? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

 

private handleSliderChange = (range: [number, number]) => {

//Error handling
        if (!range || range.length !== 2 || typeof range[0] === 'undefined' || typeof range[1] === 'undefined') {
            return;
        }
//Gets start and end date from React component and creates and contiguous array of dates from start to end date    
        const startDate = new Date(range[0]);
        const endDate = new Date(range[1]);
        
        const contiguousDates: Date[] = [];
        for (let d = new Date(startDate); d <= endDate; d.setDate(d.getDate() + 1)) {
            contiguousDates.push(new Date(d));
        }
 //Gets Power BI table and column names for filter       
        const table = categories.source.queryName.substring(0, categories.source.queryName.indexOf('.'))
        const colum = categories.source.displayName

//formats array of dates
        const values = contiguousDates.map(date => date.toISOString());

//Defines basic filter       
        const basicFilter: models.IBasicFilter = {
            $schema: "https://powerbi.com/product/schema#basic",
            filterType: models.FilterType.Basic,
            target: {
                table: table,
                column: colum
            },
            operator: "In",
            values: values
        };

//applies filter        
        this.visualHost.applyJsonFilter(basicFilter, "general", "Filter", powerbi.FilterAction.merge);
    };
