Imagine a world where report creators can automatically apply slicer and filter selections based on specific logic, revolutionizing data analysis and user experience. This innovative approach eliminates any need for complex workarounds, optimizes slicer functionality, and paves the way for more efficient and effective data reporting.

We also would like to have the current user pre-selected in a list of multiple users.

RE: Epic idea: Apply filter selections automatically
we are still waiting for this functionality !!
RE: Epic idea: Apply filter selections automatically
We need that the first row in the slicers would be the default row selected
RE: Epic idea: Apply filter selections automatically
This is very important feature. When this will be available?
More than 2500 votes and original idea is shared on March 02, 2015 which s quite long time. When this will be on priority ?
Please provide this feature ASAP as everyone is asking this.
RE: Epic idea: Apply filter selections automatically
We need this for a different purpose than dates. We take monthly snapshots of say our financial forecast and typically the latest one is the one everyone wants to look at while having the ability to switch to another snapshot if needed.
Currently there is no way to default it to the latest one or rather to the one folks care about so we have to kind of force the user to make a selection before going to the report.
Note: Latest or whatever we want to be the default to should be configurable based on logic and not necessarily the latest item in a sorted list.

This is a high-valued propose but seemed to be neglected by the team for 4 years. Pls seriously THINK about it.

I don't think 'Sticky Filters' is the same thing. I want the ability for the date slicers to filter for Dec when it's Dec and Jan when it's Jan. BUT I want the user to be able to change the date filter if they want to with out having to teach them how to change the filter out of relative mode (which most report consumers will not know about). I also want the ability to look up information in a table and set default filters using a DAX expression (but not using RLS, just a default filter selection) so that users in the Sales department see Sales information by default, but they can change to look at other departments. In fact in both these scenarios I would want 'Sticky Filters' off so that when users re-open the report the default filters are active.

Is this ever going to be done? Total lack of understanding from Microsoft of the types of issues being faced in the real world.
