Set customized calendar slicers to the corresponding value of today's calendar data.

Hello,

I have a calendar table and I am using slicers for week, month and year.
I am trying to automatically set the selected value on the slicer to the corresponding value of the current date as of today.

Any help is appreciated.

Here are the slicers and the calendar table I am using. The table has a lot more data for years bettwen 2010-2050.

@jeronimo2334 , As of now this is not possible. You need use workaround

 

example

 

Month Type = Switch( True(),
eomonth([Date],0) = eomonth(Today(),-1*month(Today())),"Last year Last Month" ,
eomonth([Date],0) = eomonth(Today(),-1),"Last Month" ,
eomonth([Date],0)= eomonth(Today(),0),"This Month" ,
Format([Date],"MMM-YYYY")
)

 

Is Today = if('Date'[Date]=TODAY(),"Today",[Date]&"")

 

Default Date Today/ This Month / This Year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfn05preQYA
