Apply a default filter to Qlik Sense April 2018

[wdchristensen]

I have an app that contains 3 years of data and I want to default a filter to the most recent completed pay period. What is a good way to accomplish this on Qlik Sense April 2018?

I have implemented apps with the set analysis approach below and it leaves a lot to be desired...

if(getselectedcount(PayPeriodNum) = 0, Sum({$<PayPeriodNum={$(DefaultPayPeriod)}>} Hours), Sum(Hours))

I was considering using defaultSelectionExtension, has anyone had luck with that extension?

I am ready to learn a better way. I appreciate any assistance you can provide!
