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.

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.

        Hi hemingt ,

         

        I am not getting the meaning of legal data.

        What I have tried, If you input ilegal data say 1111

        If you click on left slider, automatically it will pick the min date for that date variable.
        Same behaviour with max date for date variable.

        I am sure, there is no logic for validate legal data.
