Hi,
Is there a way to have a value on a Column Chart (or any non-slicer visual) selected by defualt? I also have a relative date slicer in use - not sure if that matters.
Thank you!
Kevin
...add me to the list of people in need of default selections. I can't figure out a workaround, more than two years later.
Hi there,
even after all this time, this one is relevant to me.
Did any of you find a working solution for this?
Thanks!
unfortunately no.
Too bad. Thanks for your reply anyway!
I'm so sorry, not sure how I never saw this question until now (two years later). Unfortunately, no solution that I am aware of.
Hi @sd_kevin
Which column do you want to select by default?
You could read through this thread which discussed about setting a bar chart to a default selection.
If you have any problem, please let me know.
Best Regards
Maggie

Thank you Maggie. I've read through the post before, but I don't think it addresses what I am looking for. To answer your question, I would like the latest month to have a default selection. In the image that would be 2018 December. From there the user can unselect that or select another month.
Does that make sense?
Thank you,
Kevin
