Setting Default Date Range in Power BI ‘Between’ Mode Date Slicer with User Flexibility

[Nazdac2024]

Hi All 
I’m looking for a way to set a default date range (last 2 weeks) in a "Between" mode date slicer, so it opens with this range selected initially, but still allows users to choose other date ranges afterward.
Are there any custom or third-party slicers available that support this functionality directly, or any best practices to achieve this default behavior in Power BI?
Thanks 
Regards

Hi @Nazdac2024 

The built-in slicer in the current Power BI Desktop doesn't support the effect you want, and as SamWiseOwl suggests in his reply, you can achieve a similar effect by using a "Preselected Slicer"(custom visual) or by adding a bookmark to save the last 2 weeks of filtering status.

If this feature is important to you, you can vote for existing ideas or submit a new one ideas.fabric.microsoft.com .

Hi @Nazdac2024 

You can use a hidden Pre-Selected slicer (custom visual) that filters your slider to have those preselected.

Then have a clear slicer button to remove the filter when you don't need it.

Alternatively create a bookmark that saves a filtered version of the report and another that has the unfiltered report. Give your user two buttons to click to switch between the modes.
