Always one value selected in Slicer
Can we use in Slicer something like "Radio button" instead "Check box". I mean that always one value have to be selected.

Hi Ilia,
Currently, we are not able to set default value as you describe and disable the ability for user to cancel choice in slicers. Some ideas about the issue have been submitted to Power BI team, you can vote this issue in the following links.

Ilia,
When you download the custom visual ChicletSlicer
Format > General > Multiple selection to OFF.
Here it isn't possible to select more then one value.

Good day
Hi Jorre94,
In using Chiclet Slicer, I have set Multiple selection to "off" and still if I use the Ctrl key I can select more than one item!

Hi Ilia,
Another option is after you create the slicer go to Format > Selection controls. Set Single Select to ON.
This doesn't completely do what you want it to do, since users can CTRL>Select to select more than one checkbox. But they won't be able to select more than one checkbox without using the CTRL button.
HTH,

Ilia In power bi desktop you can set value for slicer and then publish report this will ensure your report in power bi service or anyone you share with will always have a value you selected for the slicer.

Thanks everyone for answers, but I meant something different.
Step 1. There is only one value selected in Chiclet Slicer and everything looks good. Simple Card shows value for selected Chiclet.
Step 2. But in Chiclet Slicer I can canceled my choise, thus none of the options were selected. And in this situation Simple Card summarizes all values. I don't want this. I need Simple Card shows only one value.
So, how to avoid situation where User can deselect and none of the values were selected?

In ChicletSlicer there is option called 'Forced Selection. Turn it on, it will force user to select atleast one value on slicer.

I need the exact same solution, to avoid the "unselect all" and show only 1 value. Were you able to solve this?
