Defaulting the date range slicer to today, but still being able to select dates from calendar

[pbi-ai]

So I've got a Date Range slicer like so: 

by default this slicer sets MIN date of your dataset as Start Date and MAX date of your dataset as End Date

I'm trying to see if I can set the Start/End Dates to be Current Day or even Current Month to Date by default all the while still having the functionality to select dates from the calendar. So even though I have data for 4/11 to 4/13...I'd like for it to default to 4/13 so it's always "today". Or if going current month route, default it to 4/1 to 4/13 (current date)

Is this possible?

@pbi-ai , I doubt as of now you can default the date Range slicer.

You can do it with a list/ dropdown

Default Date Today/ This Month / This Year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfn05preQYA

Ah, that's a bummer...

I was aware of doing it via list/dropdown, but unfortunately the list would be insanely long if you've got a dataset that spans even a year or so. Which is why I wanted to keep the Calendar so that it would make for easier navigation of dates/months/timeframes.
