Set Values for a drop-down slicer dynamically

Hi,

I have a drop-down slicer in my Power BI report. The drop-down contains age ranges like 18-25,25-30,30-40 and so on. Based on the logged in user age, this drop-down slicer should be defaulted to appropriate age group. For example, if the logged in user age is 22 years, then it should default to 18-25. I did not find any option to set the default value for a drop-down slicer in Power BI. Is there any custom slicer I can use to achieve this requirement or any way of achieving it using DAX?

If there is no way to achive this requirement, then this functionality coming in any future release?

Hi @remo143,

 

It is indeed not possible to give a slicer a default value, you can vote for this idea on the link below:
