Default slicer selection which changes with every time when a new data is loaded

[hiren89vora]

I have 12 quarters of data in slicer, need a dynamic slicer which will select default 2022 Q4, 2022 Q3 and 2021 Q4 and other quarters should be visible and user can select those if required.

2020 Q1

2020 Q2

2020 Q3

2020 Q4

2021 Q1

2021 Q2

2021 Q3

2021 Q4

2022 Q1

2022 Q2

2022 Q3

2022 Q4

And everytime if new quarter is uploaded to the data, then the slicer should change the selection (current, prior, prior year same quarter)

nope, i need the selected quarter to be visible rather than default, and also i need past quarter visible too but not selected.

@hiren89vora 

if you create create a column, 

that will contains date values, +  ( current, prior, prior year same quarter as  text ) > 

so you will have a column in your table with the following values : 

date_modeled 

2021-q1 

2022-q2

2022-q3

2022-q4

...

current quarter

prior year same quarter

prior quarter .

now, you can drag this column to the slicer, and choose the last 3 as pre selecteed.

Hi @hiren89vora 

What is the logic for selected Quarter means How you decided this quarter should be selected.
2022 Q4, 2022 Q3 and 2021 Q4
