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!

definitely, need this feature. Any timeline when this is expected to roll out.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
To be able to store default values in a table for a user and then use RLS to load their individual preferences would be awesome!
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
There are broadly two issues in this improvement: setting default slicer values upon opening, and setting dynamic values such as current month.
For the former, it would be great we could set default slicer values as a set of parameters in a separate list in the designer. For true awesomeness, we could apply RLS to the parameters so each user could have their own default settings.

Please, need this feature.. : )
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
I would like to be able to default my date slicers to something like "last 5 quarters" or "last 13 months" so that anybody opening the report would that data by default. However, the users should be able to change the data range to anything.
Adding a calculated column and then using that calculated column as a filter is okay, except then the user is unable to have the flexibility needed.
