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

Please add this feature in the next update. Pretty sure this will be in top 10 of feature list.

RE: Clear all slicers

Just a thought, I think this is doable with bookmarks now. You can bookmark the data on a page to have all slicers cleared, and link it to an image/shape. You can set it to bookmark all visuals on the page, or only selected visuals (eg only slicers on page, or all slicers/visuals on a page).

RE: Clear all slicers

Yes! This will be a very useful add-on!

This would really be a useful feature. I would suggest it to be designed similar to the “Applied Steps” function in the Query editor to easily get an overview of applied filters. With the functionality to clear specific filters/slicer choices or to clear all.

Without this I find it very hard to replace report built in other reporting tools. Users resist pointing at this deficiency (along with Power Bi’s filter handling in general).

RE: Clear all slicers

It should clear all types of slicers as well - such as the chiclet slicers.

RE: Clear all slicers

It is important for the users to know which filters are selected and also an option to clear all

RE: Clear all slicers

It should be rather a button to do much more than simple feature of a slicer.

RE: Clear all slicers

Either of the following or all of them would really help:
1. Option to change color of clear selection button in header so that we could change the background color of filter. As of now, filter is visible on white background.

2. A new visual in the form of button either to clear entire selection on canvas or to clear selection for one visual.

3. Separate clear selection button from header so the clear selection option would still be there if the header is disabled.

3.
