Date slicer: obtain start date and end date from calculated columns or measures

[siacc]

Hi all,

I would suggest an idea to improve date slicer.

It could be beautiful if you could set start date and end date of the slicer with a value given from a calculated column or measure.

For example, it could be beautiful if you could set

Start Date = NOW()

End Date = Start Date + 15 days (or Start Date + 30 days, or StartDate + 7 days... And so on 🙂 )

End Date could change dinamically based to the Start Date Value (NOW()).

What do you think about?

Cheers.

Hello @siacc,

Thanks for your feedback.

Sounds good to me

Do you want to apply this idea to Timeline custom visual or Slicer visual?

Hello @v-viig

I'd like to see it when you use a slicer as Timeline visual. 😉

Currently, this feature is not supported.

Thanks for the clarification.

We'll consider this feature in future versions of the visual.

Pretty certain both have been done.
