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

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.
