Automatic select first row in table visualization

Hi!

Is it possible to make the first row selected by default in a table visualization?

Here is my scenario:

I have a report with 3 table visuals. The first one shows a list of incidents, and the two other shows details related to incidents. When I select an incident in the first table, the two other tables shows details for the selected incident. However, when the report is loaded no incident is selected in the first table, and all three tables shows all elements. I would like the first row to be selected by default, and the two other tables to show details of that first row.

 

Thanks for any input!

Hi @boojo 

The table cannot set the default selection

You can consider to use a slicer to set default selection, then the other two table will display the related content.

You can use the custom visual "preselected slicer" to set the defult selection, you can download it from App source

Hi Yolo Zhu,

Thanks for your reply!

I will try out your suggestion for preselected slicers. And if possible send the MS Power BI Team the preselect table visual as an improvement proposal.

 

Best regards,
