    Hi There

    Apologies if my question did not fully explain the issue. I am a new user to Power BI and my home page does not have an option to input dates to run any reports, can anyone point me in the right direction please?  Missing period for Dates to run reports

    Hi AS35 ,

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Community.

    Are you viewing a report and don't see a date input or you're on the Power BI Service home page and wondering where to select a date range, it means the report developer has not included a Date slicer or filter pane that lets you choose dates.

    Regards,
    Chaithra E.

      Hi 

      Im on the Power BI Service homepage and the Date slicer is missing - there are a few of us having the same issue, any idea where I can go to for help with that?

    Hi AS35 ,

    Thanks for the update, Check the data type of your date column.  If it is marked as text you will only get the list or dropdown option. Some of the tables with date columns may have defaulted to hirachry so you have to manually change from hirarchy, also you can try to turn off the auto date/time across all new files or in a specific file under options.

    If this helped, please mark it as the solution so others can benefit too. And if you found it useful, kudos are always appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Chaithra E.
