Hi thmonte,
I want to be able to set the slicer for 2/15/2017 and have this record show up in my visuals but, the slicer is only able use one column as a filter.If I understand you correctly, you should be able to follow steps below to use a Date Slicer to filter your data on your visual. :smileyhappy:
1. Add an individual Calendar table if you don't have one yet(make sure not create any relationship between this table and your original table).
Date = CALENDARAUTO()
2. Use the formula below to create a measure, and use it to apply a visual level filter(Count of Type is greater than 0) on your visual.
Count of Type = VAR currentDate = MAX ( 'Date'[Date] ) RETURN CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( Table1 ), FILTER ( Table1, ( Table1[Start Date] <= currentDate && Table1[End Date] >= currentDate ) ) )Note: just replace 'Table1' with your real table name.

I think you would need to create a date table, relate it to your other tables based on date
Then create a filter based on date from your date table, and a filter on whatever table has the type
