Buy a Professional Power BI Date Slicer
Bring a new level of precision and polish to your Power BI reports with Date Lens: a premium custom date range slicer built from the ground up by MG Analytics.
The standard Power BI date slicer has frustrated report developers for years. No customisation, no sensible defaults, and a choice between clunky bookmark-driven workarounds or paying up to $300 per year for a custom visual license. DateLens was built to solve all of that. Replace the out-of-the-box slicer with something your users will actually enjoy using: a fully custom date range visual that combines a clean trigger button, a two-month calendar view, and a smart preset panel into one elegant, highly configurable package.
Built for report developers who care about the details, Date Lens gives you complete control over every aspect of the visual’s appearance. Typography, colours, borders, backgrounds and drop shadows are all configurable directly from the Power BI format pane, with no code required. And yes, it defaults to Last 30 days out of the box.
Three beautifully crafted built-in themes let you get started instantly. Default brings MG Analytics’ signature orange and forest green palette. Meadow offers a fresh, nature-inspired yellow and green palette perfect for light backgrounds. Midnight is a deep navy dark mode theme built for dark background dashboards. Every theme is fully customisable, so you can make Date Lens your own.
