Resolution

Option 1

Open the workbook in Tableau Desktop and go to the view that contains the filter
Select the field that the filter is using and right click the field
Select "Default Properties -> Date Format"
If Custom format is selected please check the format values entered and ensure it is a valid format as per our Online Help

Option 2

Alternatively choose another date format such as "Automatic" and save the change and republish to Tableau Server / Tableau Cloud

Cause

When a Date Format of type "Custom" is chosen if there is no information provided in the format field, the dates will not display. To avoid this issue please supply a format for the Custom format or alternatively use another format.
