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.

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,

Michele
