Current Selection / Slider object
something like this. one central place to see what sliders are active within the sheet. If you take conclusions from a chart or want to communicate a chart, it good to have all the active slider very clear. To prevent making the wrong conculusions because the end-user was not aware of a certain slider being active.
amien Hi Amien, very good question and - to be honest - also something that often comes up in comparison to the existing Qlik applications.
Right now you have multiple ways of selecting elements in Power BI:
a) Filter pane (either report- or page-level)
b) Slicers (chiclet,regular, ...)
c) Highlighter-stuff in visuals (basically same logic like in slicers)
Thus it makes it hard to aggregate all the current selections to a single overview like in Qlik and is thus not possible. There are also some feature requests which go in the same direction:

These feature are kind of the precondition to show the always active filters on a glance. This "show the breadcrump" approach is also something which had been discussed at the very early stage of dashboards, but has - in my eyes - not resolved properly so far.
Sorry to not have a good answer right now, but I think we will see this feature discussion/request come up more often in the future, so keep on voting. :)
