Slicer that could be controlled by item URL

Hi, I have published Project Manager dashboard on the internal Power BI portal. I'm adding at the end of the URL "?rs:embed=true" to remove not needed bars for the dashboard users. As I have almost 100 Project Managers at my company each of them has to find himself on the first slicer to see his projects. I have received many requests to customize dashboard to each user by preselecting Project Manager in the URL. Could you please add primary slicer that could be controlled by URL? That feature would be very useful! Regards JT

There's a ton of use cases for this. I can tell you one specific one if you like.


We have a generalized advisory committee survey as a MS Form that uses this functionality on the front end; the name of the committee is added as text to the end of the URL before the QR code is created, so new committees are created on the fly just by adding different text to the URL. Power Automate captures the data and updates the Power BI that reports results for all committees (with an intermediary step of saving results in an Excel file in Sharepoint). The one QoL lacking in the process is that they can't add the committee name to the URL on the fly in the same way to have the default slice in place for the committee members, so committees newly created have to look through the list of 100+ committees to find their own results.

Strange, that this doesn't work. So getting around export limitations e.g. unsupported visuals becomes more challenging.

Would like to have this as well - with filters does not allow expanding.
