@Anonymous So, a lot of people solve this by adding a column like:

Column = VAR __Yesterday = TODAY() - 1 RETURN IF([Date] = __Yesterday,"Yesterday",[Date] & "")

You use this column in your slicer, set it to Yesterday, save and publish.

@Anonymous Right, so you would set the slicer to "Yesterday" and save it. Publish it, now Yesterday should be the default for the report.
