Need: Power BI reports often require displaying the most recent data upon opening, especially in date slicers. Currently, there's no direct way to set a slicer to automatically pick the latest date.

Idea: Introduce a feature for date slicers to auto-select the most recent date based on the data. This selection should update dynamically with each data refresh.

Benefits:

  • Saves time by avoiding manual adjustments to view the latest data.
  • Ensures immediate access to the most relevant, up-to-date information.
  • Enhances report usability, particularly for frequent monitoring.

Ideal Use Cases:

  • Daily monitoring reports (e.g., sales, financial data).
  • Any report where current data is prioritized.

This feature would be a significant step in making Power BI more efficient and user-friendly.
