date between slicer
Hi ash_y
You say "but sometimes the calendar icon does not appear from the beginning." Was this report created using PBI Desktop earlier than the March 2022 version? As from March 2022 version, the default behavior of a date slicer in new reports will be changed according to the following documentation: Date pickers will have a calendar icon by default. With this change, the calendar icon is always displayed unless you change the property in the theme json file.

For older reports without this setting, you may have to edit the property in its Theme file. To learn more, please read Toggle Calendar Icon Visibility In Power BI Date Slicer - Microsoft Fabric Community

Hi ash_y
The question is not entirely clear, the slicer works in a way that sounds like you have defined. If you click on a calendar icon, the date picker appears, otherwise you can type in the date.
If what you want is to "hide" the icon until you choose to make it visible, you can put a white rectangle over it in one version leave it normal in the other version, and switch between them using bookmarks.
Something like this :
This is too complex to write all the steps so I prepared a video of my screens, you can download it from here :

Thank you for your answer.
I am not a good English speaker, so I am not sure I am explaining some of this correctly.
It is true that usually the date picker appears with a calendar icon, but sometimes the calendar icon does not appear from the beginning. In such cases, it is difficult to enter the date directly, and the date must be selected from the date picker. I would like to change this as direct input is more usable, but for some reason the icon does not appear.
Hi ash_y
The icon is always displayed...
If you have experienced something different, please share a link to the PBIX file so that the issue can be investigated.
The version of powerbi was newer, but the custom theme had not been updated. Updating it solved the problem. Thank you.
