Dynamic date slicer with latest date as default.

I have a date time table . Now I want a slicer , where I want the date to show todays date as default selection . User can then select their own date if they want. Also the date table will keep on refreshing. So I need two solutions , 1. default selection as todays date, 2. default selection as latest date available .

Please help

Good-day nemo189,

Rick de Groot has a video on YouTube "Set Default Slicer Selection to Current Year or Month in Power BI". It provides an approach that may be adapted for your requirement of current date. Rick starts by talking about relative date slicers but then moves on to a stronger solution so keep watching.

Hope this helps
