Hi,
If you delete the default values in the date dashboard prompt, which has presentation variable, then the value for presentation variable would be NULL.
So it will pass null value to the report and then the presentation variable in the filter will be replaced with this null value. In your report you are using greater than and less than operators, these operators can be effectively used for numeric values, but you are using these operators for date values. Because of this it will generate below error.
datetime value was expected (received "").

One solution for this is:
Remove one column (either to or from date column) from Dashboard Prompt and change the operator to between for the other Date column, then save the Prompt.
Now edit the report, remove one filter and change the other filter's operator as 'is Prompted' and save the report.
Thanks
