    Hi, jmkvalsund 

     

    You can try the following to set the slicer to the current month.

    Column:

    Monthnum = MONTH([Date])

    Measure:

    Measure = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Monthnum])=MONTH(TODAY()),1,0)

    Place Measure in the slicer's view filter and set it to equal 1.

         

    The slicer then displays only the current month's options. Is this the result you expect?

Sorry folks, unforunately this will not help.
My slicer is a multiselect option-box. When current month is i.e. march, I want the three first boxes to be checked, since the report default should show accumulated results from january to march. I haven't found any other way to make the slicer come up with multiple options checked as default, than using bookmarks. And then the challenge is to select the actual bookmark (1 out of 12) when the report is being loaded.
