Ability to visually see all the selections made/applied to the report as a separate object on the report. (if some one worked on qlikview, similar to current selection object). It helps in keeping the context visible to the user rather making more selections/de-selections.

I have 10 sheets so it is necessary to see what all the filters are

This is especially relevant when connecting to more "locked down" data sources, that limit the design choices in PBI Desktop. Specifically SSAS sources would need this type of object / visual, to complement the "full cube complexity" of the Semantic model, and possible selections made.

RE: current selections object

there are many ways to select in Power BI, by filters inherent in the app, by slicer within the UI, by visualization within the UI and it is super important that people can easily see the context (i.e. existing filters / selections) otherwise how can they be certain as to the answers they are getting. I don't care whether this takes the form of a current selections box, like Qlik or something different but this is a must have.
