Date Parameter input for API data source parameter

I have 

to be the data source for my PowerBI report. Does anyone knows how to make the 2020/05/28%2008:00:00 be able to be input by the user. I want the user able to input the date that they need without going for the advanced editor by themself. Is that possible? 
Thanks!

You could use a paramter to store the date, then save your file as a template file (pbit).  That way, when the user opens the pbit, they will get prompted to provide the date parameter value.

 

If this works for you, please mark it as the solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.

Regards,

Pat
