Allow users to change the type of date slicer from a default setting to any one of the options (between, before, after, list, dropdown, relative). Currently, once the report is published, users can only change the date slicer from the published setting to a new setting by editing the report. The problem we are having is that we want live tiles to use the "Relative" setting, so the current month is displayed, but allow users to select a specific date range within the report.

RE: Allow Users to Change Date Slicer Type
Allow changing, also in Reading view of a report, the "type" of Date Slicer, as it is done in Edit mode.
The end-user will be able to select whether he wants to filter based on relative dates or if he wants to specify exact date in between mode, for example.
RE: Allow Users to Change Date Slicer Type
The date slicer has an option in the slicer header to change the slicer type (e.g. Between, Before, After, Relative, etc.). This option is only available in Power BI Desktop. When a report is published to the service, the slicer header is still visible, but only the "clear selection" option remains.
RE: Allow Users to Change Date Slicer Type
Currently you can switch between the date slicer type in the desktop file e.g. change between relative and between.
This feature is not available in the service for some reason in read mode?
Please make this an option as to end users this is really powerful. This makes no sense to me why it wouldn't be an option to end users
RE: Allow Users to Change Date Slicer Type
Good Idea. It would be the best, if users could just click on the range of the relative date slicer and then a dropdown calendar opens like in the between slicer. This way users don't mess up the type, but still can choose between a relative range or a custom range.
RE: Allow Users to Change Date Slicer Type
I would appreciate this feature a lot. Users want to select between a relative date and a range. Best way to implement it, would probably be to choose relative date slicer for your report, where the range gets displayed after selecting a time unit. If users click on the range they can define a custom one like they can do with the between slicer.
RE: Allow Users to Change Date Slicer Type
would be highly appreaciated. if you have a lot of pages with synced slicers, using bookmarks is very cumbersome

Great idea.
It's also duplicated here with more votes:

RE: Allow Users to Change Date Slicer Type
Another vote. My users are requesting the ability to change between a relative date (last month) and between (a date range).
