Hi @kitala11 ,

 

Are you trying to set default selection for slicer? It can't be set in slicer directly. But you can set it by Dax. Please refer to video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCgK-Ze3nhA

Best Regards,

Hello @kitala11 ,
As per my knowledge, there is no such option.
If you find any workaround please update so others will also find the solution.

@kitala11 , if you select dog in slicer and save, then should remain saved

Not sure if i understand, but I don't think it helps. I don't want a User to untick Dog. I want the Dog to be locked in forever, unable to be unticked / is hidden from user. While having the other options available for the user to pick from.
