Date slicer default values

Hi, I have date slicer (between) in my report and I would like to set "To date" to todays date and "From date" to first day of current month everytime when user opens that report.
Is this possible in Power BI RS (May - 2024)?
Thanks in advance for the advice.

    Hi, strn1k 

     

    You can try the following methods.

    Measure = 
    Var _date1=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1)
    Var _date2=TODAY()
    RETURN
    IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Date'[Date])>=_date1&&SELECTEDVALUE('Date'[Date])<=_date2,1,0)

    Is this the result you expected?

      Hi, this is very great, thanks for the answer. 

      But there is still one huge issue, the date filter now has the date range that I want but it is not applied to the visualizations :(.

      So users have to "confirm" (click to filter and click to both dates) to apply this filter to visualizations and it is very undesirable.

      Hi, strn1k 

       

      For any view you want to output you can apply measure equal to 1.
