When you want to change multiple slicers in a report with a large dataset, it can be annoying that the calculations is started with every slicer change. I'd like an option on report (page) level where I can indicate that I only want to apply slicers after clicking an 'Apply slicers' button. This way, the server hosting the datasets will be used more efficiently and the reports will probably load faster.

RE: Delay the application of a slicer

I think what you're asking for is already in the product - at least at report level? In Power BI desktop, in File -> Options & Settings -> Options -> Query reduction tick the "Show an Apply button and only send queries once for " Slicer selections checkbox
