Datellers Brush Slicer

Are your reports slowing down decisions because stakeholders cannot find the right date range fast enough?

The Brush Slicer by Datellers is a Power BI custom visual that turns date filtering into an interactive analytical experience. Instead of relying on dropdowns or calendar pickers, users can drag directly over a timeline to filter the entire report while viewing the underlying trend in real time.

Traditional date slicers often force users to guess the right range without seeing the actual data behind it. This can lead to missed trends, overlooked anomalies, and unnecessary back-and-forth with report creators. The Brush Slicer solves this by combining a slicer and a visual into one intuitive experience.

Key Features

• Interactive Brushing: Select date ranges by dragging directly over the visual timeline.

• Trend-Based Filtering: View the data pattern before selecting a range, making filtering more informed and intuitive.

• Milestones: Highlight important events such as campaign launches, discount periods, or operational changes directly on the timeline.

• Dual Measures: Compare two metrics such as Actual vs Target within the same slicer.

• Zooming: Zoom into dense date ranges to identify granular changes that may disappear at full scale.

• Period Snapping: Snap brushing selections to Month or Year boundaries for more consistent comparisons.

• Multiple Chart Types: Use the slicer as a Bar, Line, or Area chart to reduce visual clutter on the report canvas.

Ideal for

• Time series analysis
• Sales and campaign performance tracking
• Actual vs Target comparisons
• Executive dashboards and operational reports
• Business users who need faster and more intuitive date filtering
