Refresh report and Slicer shows Current Day

[Anonymous]

Hi all, does anyone know how to make a date slicer always choose the current day when refreshing the report (while still being able to chose other days)?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Power BI does not support set the default selection for slicer currently based on my research. You can raise a new idea and add your comments there to make this feature coming sooner. Or you can vote this similar idea up and add your comments there to improve Power BI on this feature. 

In addition, there is one workaround: use the relative date range slicer...

Best Regards
