Date automatically change to current day date when data is refresh on date slicer

[laehatlav]

Hello Power BI community,

would it be possible to have the date change automatically (on date slicer) in a report when it is refresh to show the current day's date. The user currently has the option on the date slicer to manually change the date, but I would like it to show the current day data when they open the dashboard. Thank you for the help.

hi  @laehatlav 

It couldn't achieve that set a default value for a slicer, becasue when you log out of Power BI and come back to a report, the same items will be selected as when you left.

here is the idea, please see detailed explanation in it:

For your case, I think the relative date slicer may meet your requirement.
