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!

It would be great, If Power BI can consider option to have a DAX expression to set the from and to date of date slicer. This way the date slicer's default range is dynamic and user experience is better than relative filter.

RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration

Default dates need to be as dynamic as selecting the dates themselves. The ability to set a start date of X now/days/weeks/months/years in the past, and an end date of Y now/days/weeks/months/years in the future.
"Sticky filters" is a terrible option as you cannot set for re-occurance, or rolling date range factor.

RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration

Similar to other comments, I really need the ability to set a slicer to a default value with DAX when the report refreshes.

RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration

We need to be able to set up the date of a date slicers to "today", so whenever the user opens-up the report the current day will be filtered.

Bear in mind that is a situation where it's needed to be able to set-up a standard value for the filter (sticky filter won't help at all on that) and also the value that will be fixed as the standard filter option has to be either a measure or a fixed value. We need options!
