Simply take slicer from visualization pane --> drag Date column into it --> click on "Down Arrow" on that visual at top right cornor --> Select "Relative Date" option. For your convience I am also attaching screen shot.
@gilbertendaya , you can use a relative date slicer if it works.

This doesn't solve custom dates.. which is the issue.. you have to get into crazy complicated book marks to choose Jan to March only when you are in april, or feb only when you are in april... or republish..its close..but date selection should be much easier to choose from all the options.. MS has some work to do still
