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 is very import to the dashboard. Please implement this urgent.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
This is what I am looking for with regards to the start date on a time slicer. Ideally i could set the first date to be 12 calendar months before the current date so that this isn't a manual task every time I load up the report
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
'Also:
- limit the slicer's instances based on a measure (like custom visual "HierarchySlicer")
- maybe start with forcing to select the Top 1 instance (depending on the sort order)
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
I would also suggest the default filter to always be selected if there are no filters selected. The report I created shows national values and users have options to see other regions. What I want is that if the user deselects a region it must revert back to National
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
Stunning that this is still here a full two years after the earliest comment. In the Top 40 on the Ideas site. And such a seemingly basic feature for this type of tool. Please, please, please...
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
Slicer should also have an option to default to the last selected value. If I open a report and go to March, close the window, log back in, it should stay on March.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
Please add a feature to set a default value for a slicer. It is absolutely necessary for a dashboard as we want to display the most important measure first when someone opens up the dashboard. Thank you!
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
I can't belive this is not yet a feature. This is absolutely necesary
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
You can now use the new "bookmarks" option, VIew->Bookmarks Pane
Just Add a new bookmark "AFTER" you configure your slicers
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
