Is there anyway to auto check a slicer selection?

[Anonymous]

I have a slicer affecting multiple graphics. I have numbers 1-13, each as a selection on the slicer relative to which period that the forecast was updated. My other option on the slicer is "actuals", I need this to always be checked because it allows me to compare actuals to each forecast. 

Is there an easy way to do this, or a workaround?

If you go to selection controls for your slicer, turn single select and multi-select with CTRL OFF.

Then turn show "select all" option ON.

This will allow you to select "Actuals" and then the period that you want to compare against.

There we go, thanks so much! Works perfectly.

@Anonymous , You can make it a single select and check?

Sorry I should've been more clear... I need actuals to always be checked, but I need to be able to select any of the 1-13 for comparison. Example being.."actuals" checked 2 checked. or "actuals" checked 5 checked.
