limited slider options for date

[jackw]

Hi all, 

Hope you can help. I'd like to incorporate a slicer for date, that is a range slider  bar. The first time I made this report, the date automatically became a range slide bar, I'm trying to build it somewhere else and the only slicer options I get are list or dropdown. 

I have date formatted as date within the dataset. I've been looking through this site for a solution, but everything seems to say the range slider should be the automatic filter for numeric/date data. 

Any help would be brilliant. 

Thanks

Hi @jackw

You may try to check the data type as below picture.

it's not about the format, it's about the data type - I'm assuming you have data type text formatted as date, so it's not working
