How to make a Calendar type Date Slicer?

[Anonymous]

Hi, 
I have been struggling to make a slicer which has date in a calendar format. I have two tables named StartDateTable and EndDateTable which have a Date Field. These Date Fields are bound to parameters StartTimeParameter and EndTimeParameter respectively and upon changing the slicers in the report it makes a live direct query with the new values of parameters. 

The queries are all working fine, I just want a better visual representation, as it gets tedious to scroll the date list. Thanks for any help in this regard.

I personally prefer to use between slicer for Calendar slicer. You can choose from the calender and can use the range from the panel.

Thanks for the reply from @amitchandak , please allow me to provide another insight: 

Hi  @Anonymous ,

You might consider using a custom visual -- Date Picker.

Dynamic date slicer to filter multiple dates or date ranges, presets, calendar views, themes and customizations

This is an introduction to Date Picker viusal, I hope it helps you:

I have used Date Picker but it didn't work. Please, understand that my queries are direct and it makes a direct query when I change the date. So, there is no notion of filtering, as I don't have the data available with me right away.

@Anonymous , Not very clear. You can use between slicer or timeline slicer, add from app source.
