    You can't make a slicer default to only certain values when you click Select All.

    However you could build the logic into a measure:

     

    Sum Of Amount (Special Slicer) = 
    IF ( 
        ISFILTERED ( Sales[Item Type] ),
        SUM ( Sales[Amount] ),
        CALCULATE ( 
            SUM (Sales[Amount] ),
            Sales[Item Type] <> "Maintenance"
        )
    )

    bcdobbs I just downloaded your file and it's working however when i applied to my report it is not. Logic is solid and makes sense not sure why but it is not working on my end.

    Here is the code i am using.

    Special Slicer TY = 
    IF ( 
        ISFILTERED ( 'POS CY'[Slicer]),
         [POS TY],
        CALCULATE ( 
            [POS TY],
            'POS CY'[Slicer] <> "Maintenance"
        )
    )

bcdobbs This code works perfectly when i select all. It excludes Maintenance sales from the total. However my challenge is after select all if i click on any other slicer selection, sum includes Maintenance. Its almost like bypassing Filter. I only want to include Maintenance sales when user clicks and selects it. Otherwise i'd like to filter out Maintenance sales. Is this possible to do or force user to uncheck select all before making another slicer selection? Appreciate any help.
