Default slicer selection to current month while having the ability to select any other month

Hello,

I am stuck in a scenario where Power BI slicer should show current month by default, but at the same time I should be able to select any other month in slicer and filter my visuals accordingly.

I did try a workaround, where the default month is always selected like this

Now, I select "Current Month" in my slicer and publish my report.
This works, but, I don't want static text "Current Month" to be present, instead I want actual month in place of it.

Is there a way that can be achieved?

Thanks in advance!!!

@neha6095 , I doubt that is possible as of now.

Use a measure =max('Date'[Month year]) in the title of slicer or a card/
