need to show previous week as default value in slicer.

Hi Team,

Could someone please explain to me how to make last week's value the default in the Slicer visual? and send me some example PBIX files for reference.

Here's the general approach - adjust as needed.

- create a string representation of your date column, replace the latest date with a string "Latest"
- sort that new column by the original date column
- add a slicer or visual/page/report level filter
- set the filter to "Latest"
- publish the pbix to the workspace/app
