Dynamic Start and End Date Filter in Tableau

One of my favorite and most-often used date filters in Tableau is a range of dates with dynamic start and end dates.

For example, you choose a range of dates (last 7 days, last 14 days, last 30 days, etc.) and then create dynamic start and end date filters that meet that criteria. This is a great way to provide a pre-selected filter range for your users but still give them ultimate control over the exact date range they want to see.

Want to learn how to build on of these? You need a few key ingredients:
•Start and end date parameters
•Calculations to return dynamic start and end date values
•Calculation to filter down to the desired date range

Check out this video for a full rundown on how to set up one of these dynamic date range filters!

Thank you for your video, this was really helpful! I had a question -- If I had a dashboard with a bunch of different fields and wanted to filter all of them based on the start and end date filter, how would I do that? And is there a way I can use this start and end date filter as a slider and have that filter all the data on the dashboard?
