What a date slicer does

A date slicer lets a reader choose a time range. Use Between for a start and end, Before for an upper limit, or After for a lower limit.

Create one

2. Select Between from the slicer type.
3. Choose dates and watch the cards and charts update.
4. Rename the page so the time period is clear.

Practice

Filter SalesPractice to one quarter, record Total Sales, then select the full year and explain why the value changes.
