Symptom
Below erros appear when trying to change the values of the Time Filter by Range outside of the initial ranges defined in the filter:
- "The start date is outside the selectable range."
- "The end date is outside the selectable range."
Environment
SAP Analytics Cloud.
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a classic story and add some measures and dimensions including Time in the story.
- Insert an Input Control.
- Click Dimensions > Time > Filter by Range.
- Choose Quarter as Granularity in Range 1 and set the range "from 2015 Q1 to 2015 Q2" and click OK.
- Click the filter just created and change the range to "from 2014 Q1 to 2015 Q2" or "from 2015 Q1 to 2016 Q2".
>> Notice the below errors:
- "The start date is outside the selectable range"
- "The end date is outside the selectable range"
Cause
By default, in classic stories, only the range between the initially defined endpoints is selectable in the page filter or input control. Therefore, errors will occur if a value outside the initial range is selected without enabling the "Display entire range slider" option.
Resolution
- Click the filter and choose Edit Filter.
- In the bottom section Settings for Users, check "Display entire range slider".
- Click OK.
