The Date Slider offers a dynamic and interactive way to filter data based on dates. Users can pick dates by sliding the bar, with customizable styling and behavior options.
Add a Date field to the Category Field in the visualizations pane.
Ensure the field is set to Date and not Date Hierarchy.
Once the field is set to Date, the visual automatically switches to the Date Slider mode.
Now drag the bubble to select a desired date range.
Click on the Calendar icon near Slider to choose dates from the calendar.
By default, the visual uses the date format from the Power BI data model, with the start and end dates also derived directly from the data model.
Selection Mode:
In the Format Pane, under the Date Mode section, set the Selection Mode to Slider.
This activates the slider options, including Slider Type and Slider Style.
Slider Type: Choose the desired slider behavior from the dropdown.
Dynamic: The slider moves along the bar as dates change when dragged.
Static: The slider remains in a fixed position while allowing date selection to change.
Slider Style Options: Customize the appearance of the Date Slider using the following settings.
Date Slider Color: Click the dropdown box to open a color picker pop-up and select your preferred color.
Slider Background Color: Customize the slider’s background color via a dropdown color picker option.
Font Color: Modify the font color of the displayed dates using a dropdown list with a color picker pop-up.
Background Color: Choose the background color for the slider display area using a color picker pop-up.
Drag Handle Color: Set the color of the slider’s drag handle for better visibility and styling.
Font Style and Size: Choose the font style (e.g., Arial, Calibri) from the dropdown list. Adjust the font size and use the Bold, Italics, or Underline options for additional emphasis.
