    I've had a lot of success using the Timeline slider that offered on Microsoft's Custom Visual gallery.  Would that solve your problem?

      It is the same.  Timeline also starts from the begining date once opening a new page.

    I haven't encountered this issue. The slicer always keep the last selection when I open the .pbix file next time.

     

    Have you updated Power BI Desktop into latest version?

      hi v-sihou-msft the slicer always keep the  last selection selected. But if there is more than 10 dates, need to scroll right to find the selected date which bring the confusion.   We don't scroll right to find the date, we like to it is to be displayed whenever we open this new page
