    Hi  Sonashish  ,

    You can use the isfiltered function

    According to your description, I created some data:

    Here are the steps you can follow：

    1. Create measure to calculate the amount of a column when selecting a year

    select_year =
var _select=SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Year])
return CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[amount]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Year]=_select))

    Result：

    The default is blank ()

    2. Use isfiltered to create measure. The default value is 2017

    ISFILTERED =
IF(ISFILTERED('Table'[Year]),'Table'[select_year],CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[amount]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Year]=2017)))

    Result：

    The default value is 2017

    You can downloaded PBIX file from here.

Hello Liu,

 

Thanks for reply. I have two single select slicer as mentioned

1st Slicer (Year) = It always select first value

2nd Slicer (Country) = It also always select first value

 

What I was looking for give option Select Year and Select Country. Because as this single select slicer so by default one option is always selected. I dont want to default option or first valus should always select until end user select. That is why I was looking for add Select Year and Select Country. If this not possible then is there any way to not select first value as default value. I also added a button (reset all filters) using bookmark action. So once user click on this button so any value which is selected in these two slicers, both should be unselect.

 

Please advise
