You can use buttons to simplify the setting of the drop down date selector. Just put code like this anywhere on your page.

    <div layout="column" layout-gt-sm="row" layout-align="end center">
        <div layout>
            <md-button class="md-raised md-accent md-hue-3" ng-click="dateBar.preset ='DAY_SO_FAR'">
                TODAY
            </md-button>
            <md-button class="md-raised md-accent md-hue-3" ng-click="dateBar.preset ='MONTH_SO_FAR'">
                THIS MONTH
            </md-button>
            <md-button class="md-raised md-accent md-hue-3" ng-click="dateBar.preset ='PREVIOUS_MONTH'">
                LAST MONTH
            </md-button>
            <md-button class="md-raised md-accent md-hue-3" ng-click="dateBar.preset ='YEAR_SO_FAR'">
                YEAR
            </md-button>
        </div>
    </div>
