Automatically select latest date in slicer

Hi! 

I need my slicer to select the latest date available when I refresh the report and filter data in the table to that date. All previous dates should still show in the slicer in case the user needs to look at previous dates. 

 

Right now, I just manually select the lastes date when the report refreshes. Is this even possible? I've been looking into custom columns and M queries but I do not understand it.

      Thank you David, I have modified the code in the video to fit my dataset but I have an error somewhere, I do not see it. Return value is "Today" for all the rows for some reason. When I use MAX function alone, I get the correct value back. 

       

      Today =
      IF(
      MAX(Processed[Report Date]),
      "Today",
      IF
      (Processed[Report Date] < MAX(Processed[Report Date]),
      Processed[Report Date]&""
      ))

    IF
    (Processed[Report Date] < (Processed[MAX DATE]),
    FORMAT(Processed[Report Date],"yyyy-mm-dd"),
    "Latest")

    This works if you create a separate column with MAX date
    I am sure there a more elegant way to do this but I am not that savy yet
