How to setup a datetimezone picker for a datetimezone parameter?
In my query editor, I have 2 parameters (start, end) which are types datetimezone.
I want to expose 2 datetimezone pickers to the user so they can pick the 2 dates and let that update the graph.
Is this possible to do?
Hi TheInvoker @
I suggest you to use this customer visual "Smart filter by OKVIz".
You can enter the date format in power bi in the checkbox that appears, and the checkbox below will automatically display the date format that matches your input.

I saw the tutorial for slicers and parameter binding, but the problem is that the user is required to pick from a dropdown of limited values. I want the user to be able to enter any arbitrary datetime like how a datetimepicker looks like in google chrome browser using <input type="datetime"/>.
I can also change it to string value instead of datetimezone. If I do a string format, is there a way the user can type a text and let that bind to the parameter?

Will it always have the current date in it? And can I pick times as well?
Hi TheInvoker,
The current date will always be included, and by clicking the button with the yellow dot, you can select the time.
