Hi JustinDoh1 !

Please try switching to Relative date slicer mode;

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/desktop-slicer-filter-date-range

Seems you are looking for something like, Last 7 or 30 days to be your date range. You can use relative date slicer for that purpose.

Regards,

Hasham

  Hi JustinDoh1 !
  
  You can change the slicer layout between (List, Dropdown, Range, Relative), see the image below. Also you can then remove visual level filter on your slicer. You need to use Date element as Date rather than Date hierarchy for this option to be visible in Date slicer. Then from slicer hearder choose the dropdown icon & change it to relative date.

    HashamNiaz Hi Hasham,
    What I am trying to do is, I would like user to use a slicer that one can insert dates like how it shows as "between", but still having the default date ranges show up for last 14 days on a regular basis. Do I have to use other way to accomplish that (how user can insert two dates)?
    
    I am not sure what you meant by "Also you can then remove visual level filter on your slicer"
