RE:

Before I start this rant, I want you to know that I am a big fan of Power BI and its undisputed number one position for dashboarding/reporting solutions. The rate of change since the early inception days and Microsoft's commitment to providing a world class product is commendable. But then there is this ongoing issue of there not being an acceptable solution to have a default value for slicers. As others have posted, there are a number of workarounds, none of them, in my opinion hit the mark. I have used Microsoft's other reporting product, Reporting Services quite extensively, even before Power BI was around, and their ability to have a default value for a parameter based on a hard coded value or a value derived from a query is a simple, yet powerful solution. I cannot understand why Power BI does not have the same type of functionality, especially as both products are Microsoft.From a user perspective, they want to see current relevant data when they go into a dashboard without having to scroll through a list to find the latest month or have "Current Year" or "Current Month" as options. Sticky filters or Relative time filtering are also not really suitable especially if you want to see the latest month for which you have data. We might be in calendar month of today but the data in the dashboard might only become available during the course of the current month. Sod until that becomes available the slicer must default to the latest month, we have data for, i.e. last month, which changes to this month once that data is loaded later in the month.I also know there might be 3rd party visuals available which might address this issue, but surely, this is a big enough requirement and has been requested by many community members that justify that this be rolled out in the base Power BI offering.Pretty please.......

This needs to be fixed, Would be the best way to connect specific purchases of special orders to the correct sales order.

RE:

I think this could be very useful to create an new Interface for the Default Dimension on Journal Lines and allow codeunits to implement this interface.
