    Include the "Requires unique selection" option for the Visual filter or Report level

    Single select filter for entire report is a must have.

    Agree, currently if you set "Select All" option to off, it still selects all by having none selected.

    It needs to require a selection before loading the report. If you have nothing selected in a filter, then it should not execute. Basically WHERE 1=2.

    RE: "Require Single selection" for Visual or Report Level filter

    Hi all, I agree this is a must have feature, but there is a work around for anyone that needs this functionality now. The "Require single selection" option can be set at report level once the report has been published to the services. This is clearly not ideal as it adds an additional step when re-publishing from the Desktop application.

    They should definitely implement. Not having this feature has opened us up for occasional human error leading to misreports.

    I agree it should be included.

    Is there a list of ideas that will be implemented?

    Power BI should consider this property ASAP!
