Between date slicer - calender selection
Hi Ritaf1983 danextian Zanqueta Thank you all for your suggestions.
So it means currently in Power BI calender data picker it is not possible to select the year picker, as you can see in the image below when the calender is selected first it shows month picker option, when I select the month picker it opens a month picker. After that when I select the year at top it only shows date picker not the year.
And selecting the arrows are the only options to select the year.
Hi Sandy_22
For a Between date slicer with many years of data, using the calendar arrows is not the most practical way to select an older year.
A faster option is to type the required start or end date directly into the slicer input box instead of navigating through the calendar picker.
You can also use the slider handles to drag the range closer to the required period, depending on how precise the selection needs to be.
If users often need to jump between years, another option is to add a separate Year slicer or use a different date selection design, because the calendar picker itself is not very convenient for long historical ranges.
