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.
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:
select date filter to relative and choose option -> This and Days, like this:
No, you did not misunderstand. I got it working the way you explained and people can just type in the date. However, when they click in the date box and try to input a date a calendar pops up. From an end user perspective they will want to click through the calendar to get to their date. A little thing I know, just was wondering if there was a way for the calendar to pop up starting with Today's date.
Thanks but I need the filter to be "After" to get the data I want.
I don't believe there is currently an option to set a default value within a slicer. However, this is a topic that users are requesting, and you can vote on that feature via the following link: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
When a user selects a date and saves the report, that date will be the date that first comes up the next time a user uses the report and drops down the calendar... Not sure if that helps or not.
