Date Picker always updated to current date (w/o using date slicer)

Hi all,

 

I would appreciate your help regarding the follwing challenge (I have already looked the forum up but couldn't find any appropriate solution thats fits). 

 

I have the follwing date picker in a couple of reports:

Whenever the report is opened, the data for the range March 1st until Apr 5th is shown - those dates were saved while working on the report. However, I would like to have the end date of the time range always being updated to today's date - meaning in this example March 1st until Apr 26th. 

The challenge here is that the users should still be able to choose the dates flexible while using the report- therefore a setting "last three weeks" etc. does not work. 
Is there a way to keep this date picker visual while always showing the current date?

Thanks a lot for your ideas and support in advance!

Chris

Hi  @Sun_123  ,

I created some data:

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create calculated table.

Table 2 =
FILTER('Table','Table'[date]>=MIN('Table'[date])&&'Table'[date]<=TODAY())

Result:

2. Using After Slice, the last date is always the current date

@Sun_123 , As far as I know, you can not initialize a date range slicer,

 

You can get this month, this year etc like
