A Date Selection widget is a calendar selector that allows you to select which dates you want to see data about in a document or dashboard. You are able to see all of the dates of each month in the widget, which allows you to be able to select dates more easily.
For example, the Date Selection widget is useful if you are working with a dashboard that displays data from Q4 2007 and you want to view data from a month before that. You can select the date you want to see and the data for that date will display on the dashboard.
