Defaulting a hierarchy date slicer to the previous day

I have a hierarchy date slicer (in the following order: Year, Fiscal Period, Fiscal Week, Date) that looks like this: Slicer Fields.PNG

And here is the actual slicer:

I want to be able to have have the slicer to default to the previous day, while allowing the end users to change the date if they so choose.

 

Can this be done? If I need to use a measure/DAX what would the syntax look like?

@Jbrenner2019, unfortunately, there is no out of the box way to select the default value, there are convoluted solutions using bookmarks/measures, etc but not very elegant, if you were using a simple date slicer, you can play with relative date slicer but in this hierarchy case.
