Select current date as default selection in slicers. (Tabular model - Report Server)

[SJim]

Hello,

So I have a 'Year' slicer and a 'Month' slicer, I want my end-users to enter the report with the current Year and Month selected. How to achieve this? I know its possible in Power BI desktop but notice that I am having this problem with Tabular model + Report Server.

Thanks in advance,

Jim

How can you do it in desktop please?

The closest thing I'm using right now, is the relative date option on the slicer which allows you to select "the last X days/weeks/months" from todays date.
