How do i allow someone enter start date and finish Date

Hi JamesCH,

In Power BI Desktop, you can consider to use Advanced filter of Visual level filters/Page level filters/Report level filters. With Advanced filter, you can select a start date and end date to filter reports and visualizations. Besides, selecting a date range in Timeline slicer will have same effect on your visualization. There is an example for your reference.



In addition, the difference among Visual level filters, Page level filters and Report level filters are as follows, choose them based on your needs.

1. Visual level filters - these filters limit the data shown only within the selected visualization
2. Page level filters - all the visualizations on a particular page have their results limited
3. Report level filters - all visualizations on the report have their data restricted by the filter criteria

Thanks,
