Is it possible to valid the Slicer input

 

Hello , is it possible to allow the only valid input data? for example, in the snapshot, only the data between 1903~1935 was allowed to input, other data was not accepted. Thank you!

    Hi hemingt ,

     

    I already tried this.
    As per my previous reply, If user input any dates out of range values. Power BI slicer will not be able to detect this.
    But, once the user click on left or right slider , it will give min and max values available in slicer as per date variable.

     

    Regards,

    Hi hemingt ,

     

    This slicer is using the data from the dataset. Whatever the dataset value you have , it will show the ranges of dates either in List, Dropdown, Between, Less than or equal to and Greater tahn equal to.

     

    For the particular date variable, whatever catergorical variable you will add, it will show list of dates from min to max present in the dataset.


    Its a visual , used to slice and dice the data , hence not possible to allow valid input data. you can do search also, but it will filter only the data that catergorical variable has.
    Here data is nothing but what the varibale having data for a particular dimension what you keep in Field section.

    I don't know if it's possible but you might want to try this custom slicer

      Hi mussaenda , hemingt ,

       

      I think, no need to use custom visual for this. Whatever slicer we have in Power BI desktop. We can use same slicer and change the orientation to horizontal.

      If you use custom visual , it will slow down the page rendering in app.powerbi.com
      Even some of the custom visual doesn't support export to PDF or Powerpoint, so for this need, you can simply use slicer present in Power BI desktop.

        Hi Anonymous mussaenda 

        thank you for your reply.

        I really want the Slicer show as between,  the between style has two ways to adjust the range. One way is to adjust the slide, the other way is to input the data directly. My concern is here, when user input the data directly to adjust the range, I want to only allow the legal data can be input.

        Hope it's clear now.
