Parameters for a date range on Dashboard for user

Hi Everyone,

I’m trying to create a date range parameter that will be displayed on the front end of my Power BI dashboard, allowing end users to manually input or select a specific date range. I want the users to be able to enter or select their "Start Date" and "End Date" directly on the dashboard, and once they've chosen the desired dates, they should be able to click a "Refresh" button to update the dataset with data based on their selected date range and then refresh the dashboard with new fetched dataset.

Could someone guide me on how to set up this date parameter functionality and display it on the dashboard in Power BI Service, allowing manual input or selection of dates by the end user?

Hi. The content that helps user interact dynamically are Power Bi "Reports". You can drag date columns to create rage date slicers. In order to let them use the filter correctly, you can get all the data from the dates you want to users to be able to check. Import all that data so the user can play with the range in that delimited dates you have loaded.

Power Bi Dashboards (also called panel) can't use filters. The feature doesn't exists and I don't think it will.

I hope that helps,
