📊 WHAT IS POWER BI?
Power BI is a business analytics tool by Microsoft. It creates a working environment suited for normal users, meaning tasks such as data extraction, cleansing, analysis and storytelling; these are made easily-accessible to citizen-users, and extendable for technical users. At face value it provides visually-stunning, interactive dashboards, but it’s built on top of so much more.

Follow up question, I need to have a calendar view for the slicer selection which is available for between or after range slicer. In such scenarios how can you default to today? because it requires a date type column?

[ParikshitJoshi-yd]

I did the same steps on an Append tables but it does not work, when try to add IsToday to the filter it says it require single selection, what that means.

[alexandredantas-cm]

Is it possible to select a date between 2 periods, initial and final, setting the current day as the default?

[shubhichouksey]

Why I don't have the relative date option on Filter panel

[pravinshingadia]

you are awesome - keep up the good work

[chengwang]

Just a thought, if filter and slicer conflict, which one will prevail? t.q.

[saikumarp-st]

is it possible to add date by default instead of today

[DeepakMAHENDRAKAR-yh]

Need a help, this option not working for direct query date column getting OLE DB or ODBC Error...I need to get letest date minus one in date slicer.
