Combine continuous and relative date slicer functionality in single slicer (for reports/dashboards)

The new relative date slicer is great, but losing the functionality of the continuous slider can impede some users' ability to analyze the data in a report or dashboard setting. It would be great if a slicer could be set to relative by default, but also allow viewers of reports and dashboards to switch to a continuous slider (perhaps via a drop-down like it exists in desktop).

Agreed - the relative date slicer is great for easily displaying a date range by default, but we've been asked by several users for the ability to get back to the slider where they can select specific start and end dates. The flexibility for the user to toggle between both would be very helpful!

This really is must have functionality!
