Changing the content in Layout file

Hi,

 

I tried to change some content in the LAYOUT file through Powershell Script, but I am unable to make any changes on that file, Can anyone help me with the solution. 

 

 

Note: Content in the Layout file should change with the Powershell script.

What type of changes are you planning to make?  The file format is not documented and liable to change at any time.

Hi @lbendlin
The scenario is like this, In the report having a Slider slicer that is like the start date is 2019/01/01 and the end date is 2024/12/31, I want to change the dates in a layout file like start 2023/01/01 and the end date is today's date.

You should be able to use a preset filter for that, like this

Hi @lbendlin ,

 

I tried with your solution but it is not working, In that slider has the 3yrs past data and 1yr forecast data and when I open that page it should only display starting of that month(the present month that is 01 January 2023)  and end date is today's date like below i mentioned the image.
