@Anonymous Right, so you would set the slicer to "Yesterday" and save it. Publish it, now Yesterday should be the default for the report.

@Anonymous So, a lot of people solve this by adding a column like:

 

 

Column = 
  VAR __Yesterday = TODAY() - 1
RETURN
  IF([Date] = __Yesterday,"Yesterday",[Date] & "")

 

 

You use this column in your slicer, set it to Yesterday, save and publish.
