Clear ALL slicers on a page with one click, perhaps an addition to a slicer for a clear all slicers button or perhaps a custom visualization that is a button to press to clear all slicers.

RE: Clear all slicers

This one is essential in some reports when you have many filters and many choices in each. It gets very old selecting and unselecting.

RE: Clear all slicers

As some have already stated, there is a work-around through the use of bookmarks, but if your report has multiple pages, and you want ALL filtering cleared (report-level slicers AND all visual-level, page-level, drill through-level filters), then you have to create a bookmark for each page, and each page with a button for it. Would be nice if MS included a function that did all the clearing (all pages, all slicers/filters) in one command.

Yes! I create this manually using bookmarks for each sheet, it works but its tedious!

RE: Clear all slicers

'@ Marco, no this is not the same idea as the persistent filters feature which has a button to "Reset to Default", which is resetting the entire report to it's default saved state by the publisher. This idea is a button to clear all "Slicers" specifically.

RE: Clear all slicers

Isn't this idea the same as clear all filters? If so, it will be completed soon. See: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-persistent-filters-in-the-service/ .
