Slicer with Dropdown and Forced Selection
Hello,
Does anyone know of any custom visual slicer which supports both Dropdown view and Forced selection?

Hi Prateek,
As far as I know, I'm afraid there isn't such a visual in the Visual Store for now. I would suggest you vote up these ideas. default-selected-slicer-or-tile-by-value-configura and slicer-default-selected-values.
If you can provide your goal, maybe we can find a workaround.

What is the "Forced selection"?

Hi v-jiascu-msft,
It is a feature provided by Chiclet slicer which forces user to atleast keep one selection on slicer.
Here is a screenshot:

In theory, there is a "force selection option" on the slicer
but it is currently not working, and if I understand the posts here, its been broken for at least a year.
My use case:
I have slicer A that filters the options of slicer B (but not the other way 'round). Slicer B is being filtered to the options I want, but none of them are "force selected", so everything else looks blank and awful. I am going back and forth between using a chiclet slicer instead (which does actually force select) or having a card under each chart that says "Please select from slicer B to view data". I started using PBI about 4 years ago and the chiclet slicer was the best option then and I am quite frankly surprised that it's still the best option now. I'd thought that Microsoft would see the value in the chiclet slicer and learn something.
