Set current date as default date in slicer
Dear All,
I have a slicer window with a date field as below. On page load, I want this field to auto select the current date. Can somebody please help on this urgently.
For e.g today it should auto select 02/09/2018, tomorrow it should be 03/09/2018 and son on.
Regarsds,

Hi Shahinkmajeed,
You can't do this directly in the report designer, but you should be able to do some modelling to make it work. Here I made one sample for your reference.
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjIwtNA3sNQ3MFTSUTJUitVBEjICChmhCoFUGaMKGQOFTJRiYwE=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [date = _t, sale = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"date", type date}, {"sale", Int64.Type}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if Date.IsInCurrentDay( [date] ) then "Today" else [date]) in #"Added Custom"Also you can use DAX to get the similar result.
Column2 = IF(Table1[date]=TODAY(),"today",CONCATENATE(Table1[date],""))
Here is the result for your reference.
For more details, please check the pbix as attached.
