Date Picker Issue For Looker Studio Report settings - Cannot Produce Monthly Reports

I run Monthly reports by setting the date using a Fixed date field in the report setting

For this month Aug 1st 2025, The UI has changed, where I cannot select the date range. The selection module disappears off the screen and there is no method to scroll to the selection module. I have tried zooming out, different resolution screens.

You can see the top of the modal on the screenshot, but there is no method to move down the modal. Please fix this urgently

I thought it was just me. I just spent an hour trying to figure it out.

Hey @Sergio_Garcia @SabrinaB & Lakeside Digital

If you are really desperate for a solutions like me, because it is Reporting Day for my clients, I was able to adjust the date by logging into Looker Studio from my Mobile Phone in Portrait mode and I was able to adjust the date :joy:.

I am NOT going to mark this as a solution - it is just a desperate workaround

Thanks, i tried that solution and it works, by the moment :rofl:

Thank you. I am relieved it’s not just me. I tried Chrome w/ all extensions off, then in an Incognito window, then Safari, then Firefox. It’s super frustrating.

same issue. zooming out the browser to 50%-75% was a workaround for me.

Here is another workaround:
On desktop right-click and “Inspect”, go to “Toggle Device Toolbar” (ctrl + shift + m).
Select a mobile view and edit your dates in the report.
Exit “view source.” You may need to view at 75% or less.

+1 to the frustration.

Please get this fixed ASAP Google, I have a 8 reports to finish.

Nice workaround @Csmyth117

Ahh, you need to zoom out in View Mode first, and then goto edit mode to get this to work. Thanks Mr @otoole

Exactly the same issue - can’t believe a company size of Google has such buggy products. The bugs on looker are increasing by the day - and there are no fixes - it’s like they have given up on Looker product.

There has been a Fix BUT

You can see the modal window appears on screen at both 50percent view and 100percent view

but the popup is just showing a regular field window. NO DATE Picker Field :sweat_smile: :sob: :enraged_face:

I’ve also had some luck with changing scorecards to tables, adjusting the date, and then switching it back to a scorecard. Again, not a solution, just a desperate (and frustrating) workaround.

@Raman_Verma I feel like new, significant bugs pop up every time they launch an update of Looker. As you mentioned, it’s wild that these aren’t things caught in a QC process before launch.

Another workaround would be to place a date range control field beside the report, outside the canvas. This is still accessable in edit mode, including its functionality, but invisible in view mode

I’ve got quick workaround to get on with my reports until Google fixes the bug.

The fix uses a small bit of custom CSS injected with the Stylus browser extension. The reason I went for this method is so that, once Google fixes this properly, I can just delete the style and uninstall the plugin. The plugin ensures the fix is persistent on the Looker domain, so it works across all my reports without me needing to inspect and adjust the css each time.

  1. Install Stylus from the Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/stylus/clngdbkpkpeebahjckkjfobafhncgmne?pli=1
  2. Go to Looker Studio/open one of your reports
  3. In Stylus, click ‘Write style’
  4. Paste in the following CSS:

.cdk-overlay-pane {
position: fixed !important;
top: 10% !important;
left: 50% !important;
transform: translateX(-50%) !important;
max-height: 80vh !important;
overflow-y: auto !important;
z-index: 9999 !important;
}
html, body {
overflow: auto !important;
}

  1. Save the style and the date picker will now appear in the middle of your screen so you can use it. As I said, once the bug is fixed you can just delete the style and plugin.

    Hope this helps somebody!
