Hello community,
I am implementing a date picker in slicer. I achived that by using 'before' option in slicer, and wrote DAX measure to bring selected date related value.
Calender table has dates from 2018 to 2023.
I want to set slicer Date to Today. How can i do this?
Don't want to use relative Date option.
Below Dax measure I am using to bring selected date event. That works fine.
Selected day Event =
Var selectedate = MAX('Calender Table'[Date])
return
CALCULATE(MIN(Data[Event Name]),TREATAS({selectedate},'Calender Table'[Date]))
Any suggestions please.
Thanks !

You can create another column in the calendar table to get the date from the beginning to today. Then use 'Before' option in the slicer.
Date-Today = IF([Date]<=TODAY(),[Date])

1. I want to show report default for today everytime.
2. User can pick any date if he/she want to search.
But in your case it will always show today's date.

@cv2qm , there is way initialize on a function like today.
You can have a column like this in you date table sorted on date and use that to filter today
Date Type = SWITCH(TRUE(),'Date'[Date]=TODAY(),"Today"
,'Date'[Date]=TODAY()-1,"Yesterday"
,'Date'[Date]=TODAY()-2,"2 Days Ago"
,'Date'[Date]&"")
In case you need more than a day data when you select only today -

I just want to show today's date in sllicer always, if i can use relative date in filters how can i set slicer today's date always.
User can pick any date from Slicer.
Thanks!
Power bi doesn't support set default option in a slicer. However, there is a workaround that is possible by creating a measure to show today()'s data when nothing selected in the slicer, meanwhile you can select other dates in the slicer, please see the attached pbix.
