Doubt About Date Segmentation

Hello, good day.

I'm using a slicer to select a date as a drop-down menu. The date used comes from a calendar table that displays values between 2022-01-01 and the current day.

I would like to know if it is possible for the selected segmenter date to be automatically updated to the current date, each time the report is updated, which normally occurs 1 time a day automatically.

On the other hand, when I click on the segmenter in drop-down menu mode it always shows the oldest dates first, that is, it starts in 2022-01-01 and you must navigate until you find the date you want to select, which is a cumbersome job when the date is very far from 2022-01-01, so I would like to know if it is possible to change the order of that field, in such a way that the first date displayed is the most current.

Any solution or comment is appreciated.

Best regards.

@Syndicate_Admin ,

 

New Date = Switch( True() ,

[date] = max(Table[Date]) , "Current Date",

[Date] &""

)

 

And sort this on date column

create a column

date 1= [date]

 

and sort it on date 1
