Slicer - default value

Hi - Question about the slicer visualization:

 

Can you make the slicer visualization default to say the greatest value within the field.

 

Example:

ABCField

 

2024-01

2024-02

2024-03

 

The slicer lets the end-user select the specific value(s) from ABCField to filter out the data.

BUT, lets say we would like to default to '2024-03' - is there a way to do that ?

Hi - Thank you very much for answering my question.

It seems to make sense.  Is there a way that in the slicer the other values can appear ? 

Just a thought - Jerry
