    Hi Anonymous ,

    The Slicer that comes with Power BI only allows the user to input the date by themselves if the Style is Between, all other types of slicers do not support inputting the date by themselves.

    In this case, if you insist on needing input functionality, then perhaps custom visual is the only way to go:
