Slider controls let you filter by a range of values in a numeric dimension, or select a single value from a numeric parameter.
Slider DATA options
Most of the DATA options only apply to controls as filters. To configure parameter data options, edit the parameter in the data source.
Data Source
Provides the dimensions and parameters you can use in the control.
Date range dimension
This option appears if your data source has a valid date dimension. For Google Ads and Analytics data sources, this option is automatically set to the Date dimension.
The Date Range Dimension is used as the basis for limiting the date range of the chart. For example, this is the dimension used if you set a date range property for the chart, or if you use a date range control to limit the time frame.
