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.

I'd even settle for being able to use a measure in a slicer.

Please add the ability to add a default date to the slicer and any random date range.

[reggiejdean]

Please allow a default slicer, particularly for dates. I would like for my slicer to be defaulted at yesterday's date, and at the same time, allow the user to select a 3+ year date range.

single selection of slicer is must required, with that maximum no. selection also should be configurable, it will be added advantage.

Very much needed! Please! Thank you!

For currency selection - Force a single selection. Change the visual from checkbox (which indicates multi select to end users) to radio buttons (which indicates single select to end users). For dates - option to default to today with ability to select another date. Prefer this over the relative time option which is too clunky atm.

Please add the default selection feature, Its Present in all High end BI tools

It would be nice to be able to set a calculated default value for slicers...example: when I open a report with a date slicer, the latest date on the list is selected by default so my report isn't empty on open. My solution has slicer values from today backwards.

'There are definitely scenarios where your suggestions are not good enough. -) for arge datasets the force a first single select (or default by expression) value is required (in our scenario we just get an out of memory exception -) in scenarios where I want a default (especially in Time) which is not the most current day -) in scenarios with Row Level Security where not everyone sees all elelemts (there especially and force first element selection like in Report Server with Item(0) or so) I am sure there are other scenariois.

Definitely agree. It's slightly annoying to have to do this manually every day on a daily report. Also, it's just not a good user experience since I had to explain to every (non-programmer) user that they have to do exactly that because it's so unintuitive.
