filter date slicer dropdown

My date slicer/filter is showing very old values - fiscal years from 1970s, which is pointless and goes until FY2045 (again too far). 
I want this to be according to the data available in my fact tables (which is probably currently for 2023, 2024, 2025). How can I shorten this list?

 

 

Also, once the user select this filter, eg. FY2024, I have another filter option for the user to select the quarter of the year (if they want to use that and narrow down the results further) - Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4. I want this "quarter" filter to be dependent on the FY filter above so that the data shows correctly.

Currently when I click on the Q1 box, the data changes but I am not sure why is it changing as I did not select any year in the FY filter at all, so I assume it is probably selecting the data for all years' Q1 combined?

@sid-agarwal,

 

Try creating the measure below where 'Date' is your date table:

 

Date Slicer Filter = 
VAR vStartDate =
    CALCULATE ( MIN ( FactTable[Date] ), ALL () )
VAR vEndDate =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( FactTable[Date] ), ALL () )
VAR vResult =
    SUMX (
        FILTER ( 'Date', 'Date'[Date] >= vStartDate && 'Date'[Date] <= vEndDate ),
        1
    )
RETURN
    vResult

 

Add this measure as a filter to your date slicer:
