Hi Team,

We have a calendar filter on the dashboard to help user select time period to view data. Currently, the calendar actully provide a free date selection which allowing users to select time periods beyond the available data range. Can we set up a rule or limit on the date selection of the calendar filter? for example: We only have 2023’s data, and users will only have calendar select choice of year 2023 preventing users from attempting to view data that is not available.

Hi @Cindy, sorry, this is not possible currently unless you are using a custom calendar lookup or parameters as suggested in the below link. I shall mark it as a feature request.

> Is it possible to limit the date range users can select from a date range filter? For example if my data is only as of January 1st, 2022 the date filter won’t allow anything prior to January 1st, 2022 to be selected?
