Slicer with Date Hierarchy

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have a table with 2 months worth of Date data, and when i use it as a slicer it shows all months of the year. Even weirder, if I add another column for slicer (like category/sex etc...) in my slicer it will only display the two correct months. Unfortunately, I do not want to slice it by 2 categories so I am stuck with this bloated slicer.

Other question while I'm at it, is there a way to specify a default value for the slicer instead of having every value selected by default?

@Anonymous , No, if you want to function based. Static Value yes.

We create this type of column in date table to always select this month

Switch( True(),
eomonth([Date],0) >= eomonth(Today(),-1),"Last Month" ,
eomonth([Date],0) >= eomonth(Today(),0),"This Month" ,
Format([Date],"MMM-YYYY")
)

Ideally I wanted to use hierarchy so I could not get a bloated list for each year i keep adding to this dashboard.

But for now that works.

Thanks.
