Date Picker in slicers

Slicers are graphical objects that we can use to filter data on a Power BI report page. When we use the dates to create slicers, then we create the so-called Timeline slicer. Until now, we were able to manually select a date range to filter the data in the report, and recently it is possible to run a Date Picker control in order to chose a date within a slicer.

Picking the date

When picking the dates in Excel documents, you may accidentaly make a mistake. The ideal way to avoid this is to use the Date Picker tool. For now, there is no simple solution within the application itself that can be used for this purpose, but there is a simple add-in available that can help with the date selection process.
