Any suggestions on whether users can input a date directly using the date slicer?

Hi ashmitp869 ,

Thanks for the update.
I tested this behavior on my end with a Between date slicer. 

If the calendar popup opens when clicking,

• Press Esc to close the calendar popup
• Then click inside the date text field and type the value.

Hope this helps. Please reach out for further assistance.
Thank you.
