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
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.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
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.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
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.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
Can't believe this has not been implemented yet!
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
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.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
We really need the default date range set into slicer. It is very needed on my all reports.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
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.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
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).
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
We really need this, in a drop down list, I want to latest date to be selected,k after a refresh latest date selected, and when subscriptions go out, it should have this date.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
We are still waiting for that ability !! We really need it
