Epic idea: Apply filter selections automatically

[Miguel_Myers]

Imagine a world where report creators can automatically apply slicer and filter selections based on specific logic, revolutionizing data analysis and user experience. This innovative approach eliminates any need for complex workarounds, optimizes slicer functionality, and paves the way for more efficient and effective data reporting.

This feature is important for viewing large data sets. Our example is that for a Region Sales Manager, he wants to look at store by store performance. Seeing all sellers at all stores is not useful. We want to default the chart to show all sellers at the first store (alphabetically) in his region so that the bar chart with sales performance information only shows 10-15 bars instead of hundreds which is not useful and is very visually unappealing

On a multi-tab report, this is an issue that can really get in the way of a user's flow. I receive emails all the time that a page is displaying the wrong metrics; when in actuality, the user has not updated their slicer to reflect the most current month when they switched tabs. If a user does not have a pleasant experience, there is less of a chance of them using your report.

Yes this is really needed.

Can someone tell where to find this solution?

The preselected slicer value would also drastically reduce DB usage when a power BI report is connected to DB via DirectQuery. Currently we have a situation when user goes to report page and whole data is accessed before user select the dates he wan't to look at the date. This inceases the DB load by over 10x since normally user is interested on specific date data (not whole year...)

Really, really need the ability to specify a default value in a slicer. Makes reports such much more usable, reduces what the end user has to select, reduces the chances of people selecting the wrong value, reduces the load on the system (as generally only a small % of the data will be selected), removes one of the main pain-points that our users report. Finally, surely a default value is a no-brainer!

I would like to be able to set a default value for the date slicer, for example to have a default value of Today, Yesterday, This Month, This Year etc.
