Disallow multiple filter selections

I would like to know if there is a pre-set that can allow users to only select one filter value at a time (never multiple values).  

 

The idea is the following.  We have several sites and would like for analysts to only look at data from a single site at a time for a specific report.  Is there any way this can be setup?

simply put your sites name in a slicer, and then on the format pane, on the 'election controls', set the 'single select' as ON. It will allow selecting only one item from the list.

Thank you for the answer.  This is a good starting point, but users can quickly bypass it by using CTRL + click and selecting multiple options. 

 

Any other suggestion?  Thanks!!!

Then, in that case, you can define a default value and set a IF condition and tell if more than on values s selected, then just return the default value.
