automatically show last available date of data

How do you get the date filter end date to default to the latest data - for example when I opened the below today it was defaulted to 1/29/24 but there is data in there until 3/11/24.  I'd like for it to automatically show 3/11/2024 as last date without having to manually scroll the visual.

Hi @jcastr02 

 

@Greg_Deckler Thanks for your sharing!

 

In response to your question, I offer some other thoughts for your consideration:

 

Here's some dummy data

 

"Date"

Create a new table that holds the maximum dates in the date table.

 

 

max_date = SUMMARIZE('Date', "max_date", MAX('Date'[Date]))

Manually create a relationship between two tables.

Creating a slicer with the max_date table.

You can also change the slicer to "Single select".

Here is the result.

@jcastr02 Switch it to be an after slicer instead of between?
