default data slicer

Hello everyone

 

I have a date table with a 4-year history plus the current year. I would like to set a default selection in my Power BI slicer for a year based on the current year without losing the history of other years. This means that if the default date range in my slicer is from 01/01/2024 to 12/31/2024, when I clear the slicer selection, it should return all the years in the table in the slicer, spanning from 01/01/2020 to 12/31/2024.

 

Please help me

  • alsolok , You can use preselected slicer from custom visual 

     

    Or you can do the workaround by creating a column a column like below and save it on "This Year"

     

    Year Type = Switch( True(),
    year([Date])= year(Today()),"This Year" ,
    year([Date])= year(Today())-1,"Last Year" ,
    Format([Date],"YYYY")
    )

     

    Default Date Today/ This Month / This Year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfn05preQYA
