Default value for parameter, connected with slicer when no value in slicer selected.

[Kvadratura]

In my report I have a slicer 'ViewAs" like this:

That field connected in the model with parameter:

MyParameter = {

    ("Manager", NAMEOF('fact'[manager_column]), 0),

    ("Director", NAMEOF('fact'[director_column]), 1)

}

This parameter I use in another slicer: with manager_column/director_column values:

When I select 'Manager' in the 'ViewAs' slicer, the 'Column Categories' slicer with the parameter displays values from the manager_column. Conversely, when I choose 'Director' in the first slicer, the second slicer displays values from the director_column.

Is it possible for the 'Column Categories' slicer to display manager categories by default, when nothing is selected in the 'ViewAs' slicer?

Currently, when no selection is made in the first slicer, I get a combined hierarchy in the 'Column Categories' slicer that includes both manager and director categories.

P.S. It is not an option for me with single selection for the 'ViewAs' slicer.

Hi, @Kvadratura 

Long time waiting, I tried many ways to fix the behavior of changing the default slicer display, which doesn't seem to be allowed. When dragging the created field parameter to the visual object I find that he displays two columns of data, converting to a slicer will definitely have a hierarchical relationship. If you don't mind, you can try converting the slicer to a new slicer where the last selected visual will be preserved. But the new slicer is a new feature introduced recently, and its visual effect may or may not be too good. If you think the new slicer doesn't meet your needsYou can submit an idea for here and the product team will take note of such a need.

Thank you for your response! Actually, I have found a way to fix this: I applied a filter to the slicer using the Top N (Top 1) selection of fields order of my parameter. This fixed the hierarchy structure and displayed only the correct categories for each role, along with some default behavior when no value in the other slicer is selected.
