Setting default for Slicer
We are using Slicer in Power BI Desktop. The data source for the slicer is a list of existing builds, which is updated from time to time.
The user want the slicer to always select latest 3 builds as default.
Is there any way we can accomplish this?
Thanks,

Hi,
According to your description, i think you can not set default select for slicer, but i have a workaround.
Here is my test sample in SQL Server:
Then add an index column in Query Editor.
After Apply&Close, add this index as a filter to the table visual, it shows:
When i add data in SQL Server:
Click Refresh function in Power BI Destop, it shows the latest three rows:
If you want to filter other data, you can still use slicer after removing this Index filter.
Hope this helps.

Well, perhaps create a Top N filter by Date or maybe create a column that does a RANKX by Date and then just filter to 1,2,3
I am not sure if I get you correctly, are you saying to show top 3 only? We still need to show the whole list of builds for user to select.
