Filter table based on user input
Add the date field from your calendar table to the page as a slicer and choose "after" drop-down option.
You can then remove the slider feature and condense the object to only show the date field the user would be entering into.
It is generally best practice to add a calendar table that simply contains a unique value for each date that you would join to your Project Master table by the End Date (you can Google Calendar Table and find plug and play examples). That being said, if you are only using one table, then you should be able to add the End Date to the page as a slicer and follow the same steps. Let me know if this works for you.
Thanks Drew, Got the date table down. How can I make it so the Project tables shows any project that has an End Date after the date chosen? I want it to take the day entered, look at the other table and only display those that have an "End Date" after the date input in my new date table.
Sorry, my ignorance. I just made a relationship between Date and End Date and it works. Sorry, Brain fart.
While I have you here, how can I make the default date in my calendar be "Today" so they do not have to scroll through past dates? Thanks
Glad that it is working!
I might be misunderstanding the next question... I thought you wanted to simply have a field that a user can type a date into to filter the table. Is that still the desired result? Or are you asking if that field can be defaulted to TODAY so that the user does not have to type it in?
It was my understanding that your desired result would look like this where the user would enter the date to filter:
