You can try this expression in a custom column, assuming your FinYear column is type date.
= if [FinYear] = Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()) then "Default Year" else [FinYear]

mahoneypat Thank you. I tried the above code but it doesn't work for financial dates since my slicer is based on the financial period. E.g. My Financial dates are from July to June so when I get to 01 July 2021, it will still default to 2021 as the code you sent is comparing to today. I will want that to default to the new financial year which will be 2022.
Anonymous Thank you. It's complaining about PriorStepName not being recognised.
