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
Any update on this? Pleeeeeease!!!!
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
Hi Admin,
The sticky filters does not do the trick. For example, I would like a slicer to always select the most current month when a user opens the report, or at least when it refreshes.
Say today is July 31, 2020. July 2020 would be the slicer selection.
But on August 1, 2020, the slicer should be set to August 2020.
The Sticky slicer will keep it at July 2020 though and there is no way to set it to August unless manually select it in the desktop and re-publish every month.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
The default value for slicers must be formula/expression based. Please no workaround.
