Hi amitchandak ,

 

The key-user would like to select all records from today (or other selected date) back to the oldest date.

 

Using the relative date could work, but is it possible do do it in a different way - just setting the before value=Now()?

    Hi FGaspar ,

     

    It is not supported to set today or other date as default date in Date slicer in Power BI currently . There is an idea about this issue, please vote it up,  Set date slicers to current date  ,  add your comments there to improve Power BI and make this feature coming sooner.

     

    As a workaround, you may use Relative Date slicer.

    Best Regards,

    Amy
