Set default date on date slicer

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

Is there any way to put a default date for today or yesterday in the visual data slicer?

For exemple today is 4/23/2020 but when i open the report the slicer is:

Is there any way to open the report whenever the data slicer has the default date today or the day before? For example, in this case the slicer should have today's date 4/23/2020

Does anyone know how to solve this? can someone help me?

Best Regards,

JO

Hi @v-xuding-msft , 

yes, but what I intend is that whenever the report is refreshed the maximum slicer date is updated to TODAY

Hi @Anonymous ,

It will update with current date automatically. It is not a static date range.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Maybe you could use relative date filter in Filter Pane.  Then the between date slicer will still show date range.

Please reference:
