Filtering by dates in PivotTable

[Smally]

I've got a pivot table to create a summary for hours completed on a course. With names on row labels, and the courses on column labels.

I've put the date in the report filter, however when choosing dates, the only option is to filter the specific dates. I'd like to be able to choose date filters the same as it is with a standard table.

Specifically what I'd prefer is to choose a date range between 2 dates

If I moved date from report filter to row labels, I'm then given many more date filter options.

What I'm trying to achieve, is a report sheet. For example I'd like to be able to enter a date in A3 (from) and a date in A4 (to). Then this will filter dates in my pivot table using those cells. On my report sheet I've also got a few =GETPIVOTDATA cells. But a can't get it to show dates between range
