Hi Community!
I'm trying to implement single date slicer that is going to use a calendar to pick up the date.
I followed instructions to the modified sollution provided originaly by the guy in a cube that can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/power-bi-single-date-picker-without-dax-torsten-wanka/ (single date picker section) and it works great. I'm using date on "After" slicer, and I'm adding extra filter to display only one date:
However, I need to make sure the default date when the report opens is always "today". All I'm asking is to make sure that the "After" date is always going to be "today". Users still need to be able to update the date.
I know that the default "today" can be done for the dropdown/list slicer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaJ10ilXp6Y) but is there ANY way to get it working for the calendar picker?
Does anybody have any suggestions how I can set the default of my date picker to "today"? Is there maybe a custom calendar visual that could be used instead of slicer?
@Anonymous , I saw one update of one Visual that allow Java script to initialize the date. But not able to find the same. In case I got the link handy I will share.
