Slicer configuration questions

I have a dimentional table with Date column in last 7 days sorted in descending order.  It is used as a slicer to allow user to select particular date in last 7 days.  Why is date not sorted in descending order in my slicer and how to do it? There is no blank in the table, why is there a blank in slicer and how to remove it?  How to select last date (Jan 8 2023) as default, or last weekday (Jan 6) as default?

Hello @bergen288 ,

 

You click at the three dots on the slicer and then sort it as in the screenshot

Great, the sort issue is resolved.  How about other questions?

There is no blank in the table, why is there a blank in slicer and how to remove it? This is because my fact table has 91 days.  If blank is selected, all 91 days will show up so I would like to remove blank.

How to select last date (Jan 8 2023) as default, or last weekday (Jan 6) as default?

Hello @bergen288 ,

 

You can unselect it from the filter pane of the slicer

Great, the blank is removed.  How about default selection?
