Pre-Select Slicer Based on User

[tomperro]

Is there a way to pre-select slicers based on the logged in user?

Hi @tomperro 

You can use pre-slicer visual and rls, you can refer to the following example.

Sample data 

Goal: Based on the user to pick the biggest number in advance

1.Create a user table.

2.Add the pre-slicer visual to the desktop.

3.Add a true/false table

4.Create a relationship among the user table and the data table.

5.Create a measure.

Measure =
VAR a =
    MAXX ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table (2)' ), [Column2] )
RETURN
    IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table (2)'[Column2] ) = a, TRUE (), FALSE () )

Then put the following field to the pre-slicer.

6.Create a new role in RLS in user table.

[useraccount]=USERPRINCIPALNAME ()

7.Test the role.

Best Regards!

Hi @tomperro 
There are a few options for the user to get filtered reports/dashboards according to their needs:
1. He can create a personal bookmark for himself and keep the preferred selections. This is a closest one for your request

2. To use Rls, but then the result is a filtered report without the option to change it.

3. To use the URL to the report, which can include filters that the user can change if he wants to.
