Dynamic date slicer

The new date slicer is awesome, but it would be so nice if you could set a dynamic date selection instead of a static. With a static filter the user will always have to set the dates before the saved report makes sense - especially as the report gets older. Dynamic options could be YTD, QTD, MTD, WTD, Today, This Year, This Quarter, This Month, This Week and so on.

This would be great, especially if automated report exports are rolled out.

'@ previous commenter - your solution would not be helpful when querying from large datasets. Trying that against something like Azure DocumentDB with billions of documents would prove to be a slow, very expensive experience. Date is a common way to filter large historical datasets to more manageable size. Date is a universally recognised and well defined construct and therefore a good candidate for standard functionality.

Add to the options listed in the original post Previous YTD, Previous Year QTD etc so we can have a comparison side by side of the the current year vs last year same period without having to mess around doing custom report date attributes etc.

Is it possible to add customized date ranges for fiscal quarters and fiscal years?

Please add the "Latest" option to have the slicer show latest available date
