Dyanmic Date Slicer that chooses this year to toda...

Anonymous · ‎06-23-2020

Hi,

Is there a way to make a date slicer select dates from this calander year to today's date. It needs to be dynamic that it updates according to today's date.

For e.g. today is 6/23 and this year is 2020 so the from date will always be the start of the calander year and the to date will update every day according to whatever today's date is.

hi @Anonymous

No, it couldn't achieve that set a default value for a slicer, becasue when you log out of Power BI and come back to a report, the same items will be selected as when you left.

here is the idea, please see detailed explanation in it:

For your case, the relative date slicer might help.
