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.

Update 10/20/2022 - Update from Mo - we are working on this in the new year
Thanks for everyone's votes and comments. This is a feature on our backlog; however we cannot share a timeline at the moment.
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!

RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
For currency selection - Force a single selection. Change the visual from checkbox (which indicates multi select to end users) to radio buttons (which indicates single select to end users).
For dates - option to default to today with ability to select another date. Prefer this over the relative time option which is too clunky atm.

Please add the default selection feature, Its Present in all High end BI tools
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
Very much needed! Please! Thank you!
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
Please allow a default slicer, particularly for dates. I would like for my slicer to be defaulted at yesterday's date, and at the same time, allow the user to select a 3+ year date range.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
Please add the ability to add a default date to the slicer and any random date range.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
I'd even settle for being able to use a measure in a slicer.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
single selection of slicer is must required, with that maximum no. selection also should be configurable, it will be added advantage.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
We need a slicer to default to the first available value it can find. This is necessary when deploying a report to hundreds of customers with row level security on the dataset
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
Please add this feature
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
