So, you can have OrderDate, ShipDate, and DueDate date tables and mark them as such. This will enable time slicers for all of these tables.

I have started using the tabular model. I have created a pivot table in Excel’s 2013 and connected it to the BISM model. And I have been trying to integrate multiple TimeLine slicers (from multiple date fields and tables) into my pivot table, but with no avail. I understand I can only declare one table (and basically only one field in it: unique and date type) as a date dimension, and just figured that Excel’s TimeLine slicer only recognizes that one table and that one field. But is there any work around that?
I also read the ability to connect a fact table multiple times into a date table
but I guess that wouldn’t help in adding multiple timelineslicers.
Please let me know what you think. Thanks again.
