The timeline slicer (Custom Visualization) functions, but it is not a friendly tool. If I quickly want to select a "Start" and "End" date for a date range, it would be more helpful to have a popup calendar with an optional freeform text box for both the "Start" and "End" date ranges.

I'm very pleased to say we've shipped a much improved date slicer in the October release of PBI Desktop. More details are available here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-october-feature-summary/#reportView Let us know what you think and please keep those suggestions coming! thanks!

RE: Better Date Range filters

Any update on this idea? it's quite important that we start saving real state in the dashboards and this would definitely help...

This has been "Started" for a while now. When can expect this?

The TimeLine slicer is super buggy.

RE: Better Date Range filters

The ability to set the default (i.e. to Today) in a popup calendar would be great too, so if there is a report that is often but not always viewed for a specific range (i.e. last week) only those users looking at a different range would have to change it.
Also, keeping it as small as possible would be ideal, as struggling to fit all my slicers on a page without taking over the visualizations we actually want to see.

Data Studio 360 by Google seems providing an example of date filter. You can find the filter on the bottom of the linked page.
