Intro
Date Selector Cards display a calendar-style range of dates. When you add them to a Card Page in Domo, users visiting that Page can select a range of dates from the calendar as a filter. Alternatively, they can choose from a number of preset date filters such as "Last year," "Last 2 months," etc. The date filter you choose is applied to all other Cards on the Page. For example, if you selected all dates from April 1st to July 31st on the calendar, all other Cards in the Page would be filtered to show just the data for these dates. For more information about using date selector Cards on a Card Page, see Applying Page-Level Filters -- Date Selector Cards.
For information about other Filter Card types, see the following:

Powering Date Selector Cards
This type of graph requires two columns or rows of data from your DataSet. One of these contains a date column. You drop this column into the "Date" field in Analyzer.
The other field is called "Group By." Though this field is required to power up the Card, in general it doesn't matter what column you drop here. If you need to aggregate the data, you can use this column to do so. For example, if the date column is duplicated in your DataSet, you can make the dates unique by aggregating.
For more information about choosing data columns, see Applying DataSet Columns to Your Chart.
For more information about formatting charts in the Analyzer, see Visualization Card Building Part 2: The Analyzer.
