    Hey BigKev ,

     

    yes, you should add a calculated column in your date table and check there if the row is the latest date.

    If yes, then give it a value like "Latest" otherwise not. 

     

    Then you can use that column as a slicer. As the report refreshes this column is also getting refreshed.

     

    If you need any help please let me know.
    If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
