Power Bi services report not defaulting to the current date

Good day

I have created a report and published it to power bi services. The report has a number of subscribers on it, the issue is that when the report is refreshed and a subscription email is sent out, the date does not default to the current date. For instance when the user gets an email saying go to report, when the open the report they want to see the current date defaulted not them having to select the current date on the date slicer.

 

Can someone help?

Hi @Anonymous, 

 

You can modify the report, use relative slicer and set the it as This Day and save the change. But please note, the slicer is always based on the time in UTC. See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/desktop-slicer-filter-date-range#limitations-and-considerations
