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.

I, too, need the ability to have date slicers in my reports default to the latest/max date (which is not necessarily today or yesterday).

Just adding to the 326 comments before me: This need is not yet adressed! Frankly the pinned Admin-comment regarding new feautures completely misses the mark in terms of delivering a default slicer range.

Hi, here is my scenario. I have users all around the world. They need to see how other regions are performing, however, they have their own region. When an user enters the dropdown list with the regions should preselect user's region. I have tried several scenarios with RLS but it has been futile.

Power BI is a wonderful thing, but some of the simple things my users are used to in Excel aren't yet possible. This needs to be fixed to get people to accept the change from Excel to PBI.

Can't believe this has not been implemented yet!

None of the existing features addresses the issue - we need the latest date from the dropdown to be selected when we open the report. It seems very logical feature and surprisingly its not there. With relative filters - many of our users find them not so straight forward to use although we did use it in some cases. I dont find sticky filters very useful, depends on the situation, idealy would be to have the latest value from the list selected - when the filter is date. It its department, in that case sticky filter makes sense.

We really need the default date range set into slicer. It is very needed on my all reports.

RE: Epic idea: Apply filter selections automatically

Not sure, if i am writing this at correct place. If no, i am sorry but i don't know where to raise it.

I have below user's data. I have setup RLS
User Product
User1 Product 1
User1 Product 2
User1 Product 3
User2 Product 4
User2 Product 5
User2 Product 6

I want, "Product 1" should be default selection when User1 logged in and "Product 4" default selection for when User2 logged in. In other words, first valid value per user should be selected. Can we do this in Power BI? Please let me know.
