Intro

Date Selector Cards display a calendar-style range of dates. When you add them to a Domo dashboard, dashboard viewers can select a range of dates from the calendar as a filter. Alternatively, they can choose from several preset date filters such as Last year and Last 2 months. The date filter you choose is applied to all other cards on the dashboard. Date Selector Cards have a 25,000-row limit. For example, if you select all dates from April 1st – July 31st on the calendar, all other cards on the dashboard are filtered to show just the data for these dates.

Power Date Selector Cards

In Analyzer, creating a Date Selector Card requires two columns or rows of data from your DataSet. One is a date column. Drag a date column to the Date field above the chart. The other required column/row belongs in the Group By field. Though this field is required to power the card, it doesn’t necessarily matter what column/row you place here. If you need to aggregate the data, you can use this field to do so. For example, if the date column is duplicated in your DataSet, you can make the dates unique by aggregating.
