Slicer - how to make default selection be previous month

Hello, and apologies if this has been addressed before. It is a a fairly straight forward question.  My report has a slicer like the one below, and when the report is first opened, I would like the default selection to be the previous month (in this case April as shown).

Is there a way to achieve this? 

Thanks.
