Creating Date scrolling within Power BU
You can only filter DateTime in your report using the filter as described in the previos posts. We do have a proper Time Slicing capability pretty high in our backlog. You can also check and leave your additional votes and comments in related feature request below.
Thanks,

if you drag a DateTime field into a filter area, you should then be able to use the calendar control to make your selection.
Thanks for you input Andre.
Instead of a calendar widget, which IMHO is better as a specific date selector, I was hoping for something more along the lines of this:
This is an example of something created in Excel, but could as well have been easily created in Access. Instead of a widget to select a specific date, there is a control to allow for selection for month or year, as well as a way for easy navigation through a month using a control to move the date back or forward.
In order for me to transition clients to utilize their underlying data in a more user friendly manner (using Power BI, perhaps), I was hoping that Power BI would provide something along these lines, or something similar (like a bar below that chart that would allow the user to move along a timeline).
Are you, or is anyone else reading this, aware of something like this in the current version of Power BI? Or a way to create this?
Thanks for any additional input!

Hi Alex,
Many thanks for the reply and clarification. When you say high, does that mean priority-high? Meaning, a time slicer is going to be looked at sooner than other requests?
I will vote for it, too - thanks for the link!
I meant priority high... There are a still few other time related scenarios that we need to enable prior to this but we hope to work on this soon.
Thanks,
Alex.
