Allow a user to set the default value for a slicer or tile-by value on a page/dashboard, so that when the Power View page is opened for the first time, the default value is selected.
eg. If the page has a slicer for Year or Month, allow the user to configure the most recent Year or Month to be selected by default.

Update 10/20/2022 - Update from Mo - we are working on this in the new year
Thanks for everyone's votes and comments. This is a feature on our backlog; however we cannot share a timeline at the moment.
It looks like many of the requests will be addressed by the new 'Sticky filters' capability. Now when you log out of Power BI and come back to a report, the same items will be selected as when you left. For those who're looking to have a 'last month' selection, the relative date slicer might help. Those with comments about currencies where having multiple selected makes the report meaningless - the report will load with whatever selection the author saved, so if you save it with one currency selected your users will see that by default. If there are scenarios that these features don't address, please let us know in your comments - if you are really specific it'll help us build the feature to work just the way you want! Thanks again!

RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
I think what we are basically looking for is for the same functionality that we have in a single select parameter in an SSRS report.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
We really need this!
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
the issue with the current slicer is that if you untick the selection it defaults to all, even if single selection is enabled. We need an option which forces the slicer to be something even if it just defaults to the first value it finds.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
Much needed! Thanks!
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
Yes! very good!
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
This is essential for any orgs using row-level security and any sort of slicers. Pretty inelegant for users to initially log into a report with blank data, then having to user the slicer to unlock what they have permissions to see.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
I prefer that always have one selected value in the filter, without the option of been with all the values and also not allow unselect a value.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
Up, add this please. Its boring, when i have a lot of dashboards and cannot see current for example month on slicer after opening report.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
This would be useful for reports that have date slicers for them. In most cases Today () or Yesterday () would be the most reasonable default.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
This feature is commonly asked by most of the clients, it would be great if we have this feature in Power BI
