Hi,

Can the time stamps be removed or do you need them?

HI @Anonymous,

Power bi not support direct operation on date range which define by two columns.

You need to create a calculated table to store expand detail date and link to original table, then you simply use new data column as source of slicer to filter on date range.

Sample table formula:

Expand date table =
VAR _calendar =
    CALENDAR ( MIN ( Table[start] ), MAX ( Table[end] ) )
RETURN
    SELECTCOLUMNS (
        FILTER (
            CROSSJOIN ( Table, _calendar ),
            Table[start] <= [Date]
                && Table[end] >= [Date]
        ),
        "id", Table[unique ID],
        "Date", [Date]
    )

Build relationship based on 'id' column, then use new date column to create slicer to filter on original table.
