Remember Filters I set on Reports!

We have a number of different business parts and all our reports are built generically so that you can change the area you are interested in by filter.

Each person is generally only interested in one specific part. However every time each user returns to the report they have to re set the filter they are interested in.

The only way we can give users a friction-less experience is to duplicate reports where the only difference is the default filter, which is obviously ridiculous.

So please add a feature to remember the last filter that was set by each user and return it the next time they go to the report. Simply add a "reset to defaults" button to allow them to return to the defaults in the published report.

I actually couldn't believe that this hadn't been asked before but in the few different ways I searched I couldn't find it!

That would be very nice, this is possible with our current hospital system and the used dashboards. This works great, So for PowerBI this would be fantastic!
