+1 on getting the amount of page real estate used improved for this extremely useful slicer.
Some ideas:
- Move the Range Header up to top of the visualization (aligned with the top of the slider)
- Display the Y/Q/M/W indicators on the horizontal plane instead of vertical
- Allow for a static size of cells
- Even better, allow the developer to set the cell size
- Allow customization of the slider Granularity level
- Instead of forcing Y/Q/M/W/D, allow developers to select which of these values to allow on the slider
- Allow for custom date range entry
- Ideally, allow a user to click on the first and/or last date and enter a custom value
Thanks for ideas guys. We'll consider all of them.
