There are a lot of ideas around date slicers and maybe this is out there, but I didn't have all day to weed through all of them. So I apologize if this is a duplicate idea.

It would be nice if the end user could have the option to select the type of date slicer once the report is deployed to either PBIRS or the service. I will set a date slicer to Relative Date and end users like that, but then they also want the ability to slice down into a specific date range using a Between slicer. What I end up doing is adding two slicers to the report, one set to Relative Date and one set to Between. I then have to make sure the end user knows and understands that they should clear one slicer before they use the other so there is no conflicts between the two slicers.

If an end user had the same drop down choices as they appear when creating a date slicer in desktop, that would be ideal.

RE: Allow End User to Select the Type of Date Slicer

It would great to be able to change the date slicer type in the service without going to edit mode.
