Datetime Filter/Parameter - How to make a filter change the value of a parameter

Q&A

Hello,

I have a datetime filter on my Quicksight analysis, where I can choose simultaneously the begin date and the end date. However, I need to reference the begin and end dates currently used on a few titles of some of my visuals, which can be done with parameters. However, when you use parameters’ control to filter by date, it would require me to create 2 different controls: one for begin date, another one for end date, which will end up occupying more space than I’d like to. Is there any solution for this?

Thanks in advance

Hello @enzoag

Parameterizing the date values is the only way to get them into your titles. Currently you can’t pull the values from a visual filter.

I can mark this as a feature request for the Quick Sight team, but for time being you will need to use date time parameters.
