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
This would be an extremely useful functionality. I have reports that utilize a Year slicer and a month slicer and would like the slicers to have selected in the report the current year and current month as new data flows into the report.

Need this function...
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
Looking for an option where the users can make any of their slicer selections as their default selection through a button and every time they log in, slicers should be applied with defaulted values which were opted by the user. Example User has accessed the report and made a selection criteria in the few or all slicers and click a button as "Save my Preferences" when they access the report n number of times later the slicers in the report should be applied with the values which user has saved as their preference until unless they make other selection and hit "Save my Preferences" option which replaces previous selection with new slicer selection.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
Hi Will,
pre-selecting a value does not always make sense, especially when using row-level security. What would be extremely helpfull is a setting that ensures the first available value in the filter is selected and users are not able to unselect all or select multiple. This way you ensure that only 1 value is selected at all times.

I need to be able to set the default slicer value based on a condition
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
I need to have a forced slicer selection to show accurate FTE figures. if you have 2 people working in a department in January, nobody gets hired, then it really should not show 24 people if the user doesn't make any month selection.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
I have RLS on most of my models and using Direct-queries, I need to set a default value for one of the slicer for better performance and also I need the flexibility for the user to select another value from the list of available values in the drop-down.
This is very critical for us
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
Critical if a report with a slicer is being emailed. A date slicer with multiple values doesn't have a valid selection when a report is emailed. My alternative seems to be a version of the report that sets the filter based on DAX which isn't going to be too useful when the report is viewed interactively and the user wants to select a different date.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
'I have a date table that allows the user to filter by Day, Week, Month, Quarter, Year.
I have another slicer that gets filtered by the previous one (shows the last 30 days, or the last 13 months...), and I need to have the last day/week/month/quarter/year selected by default.
Example:
- I select Monthly from my main slicer
- my secondary slicer shows me all the months between September 2017 and September 2018
-> I need September 2018 to be selected by default (current month).
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
we need to be able to set a default value on report execution and the ability to change the default value using slicers
