Dropdown Selector: always have pre-selected the latest date on a filter card.

Options

Hi, I have a filter card (dropdown selector) to display all dates available and I would like to have pre-selected the latest date. Is this possible?

Right now I added it by manually typing the latest month but I'd like it to switch automatically when the month ends.

Any ideas are welcome!

Thanks

    If you create a beast mode using a window function, you can get the latest available data.

    CASE WHEN ScheduleDate = MAX(ScheduleDate) over () then 'Latest Data' else ScheduleDate end
    

    This will make the latest data show as "Latest Data" and all other data show as the date.

    You can then set your default to "Latest Data"
