Default Start and End values in Date Slicers

[wickenss]

I would like the ability to set the start and end ranges of a date slicer to select from a formula or query, I can't see any way to do this currently.

I do not believe that I can use the Page Level filters because I want the Slicer to suggest a range only and for the user to be able to change it if they want.

for example: The user, when accessing the report, will see the last complete month selected for them. TODAY() = 3/3/2017 Slicer range should default to 1st Feb 2017 to 28th Feb 2017 but if the user wants to view a different range then they can change it themselves, to any other date range.

Hi @wickenss,

>>I would like the ability to set the start and end ranges of a date slicer to select from a formula or query, I can't see any way to do this currently.

You can simple use allselected and lastdate/firstdata to get the selected range, then write a measure to calculate on it.

Calculate on Dateslicer=
var SelectMinDate=FIRSTDATE(ALLSELECTED(Table[Date]))
var SelectMaxDate=LASTDATE(ALLSELECTED(Table[Date]))
return
SUMX(FILTER(ALL(Table),[Date]>=SelectMinDate&&[Date]<=SelectMaxDate),[Value])

BTW, current date slicer not support setting default value.
