Allow a user to set the default value for a slicer or tile-by value on a page/dashboard, so that when the Power View page is opened for the first time, the default value is selected.
eg. If the page has a slicer for Year or Month, allow the user to configure the most recent Year or Month to be selected by default.

We're looking into this request, thanks for everyone's votes and comments. It looks like many of the requests will be addressed by the new 'Sticky filters' capability. Now when you log out of Power BI and come back to a report, the same items will be selected as when you left. For those who're looking to have a 'last month' selection, the relative date slicer might help. Those with comments about currencies where having multiple selected makes the report meaningless - the report will load with whatever selection the author saved, so if you save it with one currency selected your users will see that by default. If there are scenarios that these features don't address, please let us know in your comments - if you are really specific it'll help us build the feature to work just the way you want! Thanks again!

Any progress on this item? Default filter/slicer value is really important for weekly reporting and mobile. Thank you

RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration

It would be very nice to have the possibility to set default values to the slicer by using fields and / or DAX formula

For example, I've 10 years of data in my database, but at the default report view I only want to display the last 180 days. The user should be able to select another (longer) time range by himself.

Also, I would like to have the possibility to set a default value of a normal selection list by a field. I've a single selection slicer which values are depending of the user role and I always want to select the first value by default

RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration

Hello Team,
It would be a great thing to be able to default values using a slicer. If I have a set of years, I would like to be able to have "2017" as default value automatically, meaning that every time you have a new calendar year, Power BI Slicer will default to the new year.

Cheers,

YUKOS
