Current Year month as default selction, also keep

[Anonymous]

Hello All,

I have a "year month" Slicer. Every month my data gets updated and  I want slicer to be auto-selected for all current year and month, but also have previous year month unselected.

I have created a calculated column as 

Column = IF(MONTH(Table1[Date])=MONTH(NOW()) && YEAR(Table1[Date])=YEAR(NOW()),"current month",MONTH(Table1[Date]))

and kept in under visual filter, it shows only current year and month, the previous year month doesn't appear at all.

I want current year month autoselected and previous unselected

Thanks,

Aditya

Hi @Anonymous 

Calculated column is static, you could create a measure which changes dynamically every year.

Measure = IF(YEAR(MAX(Sheet1[date]))=YEAR(TODAY()),1,0)

If you want to aotu select the slicer dynamically, it seems impossible.

Best Regards

One of the hack is to have calendar till today only.

I have created calculated column and selected current year, but other years doesn't appear in the drop-down,

My requirement is : I want current year month to be selected but other year month should be unselected.

Can you share a screenshot, what is happening vs what is expected?
