Display most recent available data

In live connection to Analysis Server model is there a way where I can configure each page of a report to show the last available data without using the relative slicer?

 

I.e. I have financial data until a certain period and I want that data to be shown by default when the user opens the report.

 

Ex:

The latest data available is from last month.

Today when I open the report, with the relative slicer, I see an empty report because there is no data from today. What I want to see is the data from last month and then when a new update is made I want to see that data from default.

 

By now I'm using 2 date filters, in order to use the between date slicer I have to clear the relative one, this isn't user friendly and I had some complaints from users about that. Is there another way to do this?

    Hi Soares,

     

    Since it's a live connection, we can't do any customization in the connection. How about the Page Level filter? But users have to clear it before using the other slicers.

      Hi v-jiascu-msft, firstly thanks for helping.

      I don't want the users to use the filter pane, I'm hoping that developers implement the "hide filter pane" option because I have all filters like slicers.
      I use this 2 slicers to date, the top one do the same thing you sugest, I have to clear it to use the other. If there is a way to configure the report to show the most recent data would be perfect.

       

      Best regards.

        Hi Soares,

         

        The requirement in your scenario is more like a default slicer. I would suggest you create an idea here.

        There is a workaround. Using the bookmark to record a status. You can restore the status easily by clicking the bookmark.
