Default Date in the Slicer

Hello,

 

I am using the Between format for the Date slicer. What I need is to set the end date of the date range to yesterday date, so everytime I open the dashboard ,it shows 1/1/2020 - Yesterday. I would like the slicer to always default from the first of January to yesterday. Please suggest how to achieve this. Thanks.

The best solution would be to create an additional column to check if the date is less than today. If so, show date, if not blank (). And add this new column to the slicer.

to Yesterday Date =
IF ( DATEDIFF ( 'Date'[Date], TODAY (), DAY ) >= 1, 'Date'[Date], BLANK () )

Result:

Hi, @LyncoData1 

The selection of the default value of the slicer is not yet supported as below.

The only effect that can be achieved is what mentioned by @lkalawski  .
