title: Need to limit the date in a slicer by today's date in Power BI
body: <p>I am building a report in Power BI Desktop, created a slicer - <strong>YearMonthSort</strong> - which has data selection by Year-Month</p>
  
  <p>Plz, see the screenshot below:</p>

  <p>My goal is to limit data in this slicer as -
  <strong>2015-07</strong> to <strong>today's date</strong> 
                     (whichever it will be when users will look at the data,
                      in the same format - "<strong>YYYY-MM</strong>")</p>
  
  <p>In the "Filters" section I can select my starting year as 2015-07,
  but having problem setting today's date.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to create the new Measure, but not sure where to place it,
  or, may be there is another way to perform this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>      IsToday = FORMAT(TODAY(), "mm/yyyy")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I only just started to learn this, 
  Thank you for help in advance!</p>
