Adding a filter option allows the person using the dashboard to instantly narrow down the dates that he/she wishes to focus on. Employing the use of a slider also allows the user to specify a range of dates that he/she might wish to analyse. This works best with the date option as analysing a range of dates might allow the user to discover new insights.
