Timeline Slicer Presets
Hi, I am new to Power BI and am really liking the features. I am working on replacing a custom dashboard my company has with Power Bi Embed. One thing I am struggling with is how to create a date filter with presets of the most commonly used date ranges. I can create the calendar filter with the timeline slicer, but I don't see a way to make things like "yesterday", "last month", etc.
This is what I have now:
Any help would be very much appricated

Thank you. That looks intense, but I will work through it.
Hi pshpil ,
I can understand your problem and there is a much simpler solution to this. Power BI Native date slicer does not offers this feature but a lot of custom visual do, My favourite is Date picker by Powerviz. It has all the required presets in built and other features like selection, themes, pop-up mode , and much more.
I think you should check them out.
Here is a link if you want to check this visual - https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/powerbivisuals/truvizinc1674781244292.date-picker-by-powerviz?tab=overview (I believe they offer a free version too)
