How to set current week as default slicer

Hi 

 

I tried to follow the below video to set the default slicer as current month in PowerBI. And it works well on my other report.

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Set+Default+Slicer+Selection+to+Current+week

 

But this time I would like to set the slicer to current week. I have created the date table as I need a week cycle to start from Thurs to Wed.

 

I can set today as "Current Week". But I can't figure out a way to replace the remaining days as "Current Week" as well.

@basyan1991 , Try like

 

var _st= today() +-1*if(WEEKDAY(today())<4,WEEKDAY(today())+3,WEEKDAY(today())-4)
var _end = _st+6
return
if([Date]>=_st && [Date] <=_end, "Today", [Date] &"")

Thanks for replying! But from what I understand this wont be able to work as I have a different week cycle setting. Starting from Wednesday to next Thursday.

Not sure whether I understand this correctly.
