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
A must
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
It is a MUST.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
Set a value for the selection of a slicer is a must have, please consider to evaluate a measure returning a table that contains a single column with one or many rows
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
I would like to see the ability to set the start and end ranges of a date slicer to select from a formula or query so that (for example) the user, when accessing the report, will see the last complete month selected for them. TODAY () = 3/3/2017 Slicer range should default to 1st Feb 2017 to 28th Feb 2017.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
Along the same line of thought, the functionality for certain options to always be selected and the filter to select additional items would be helpful. For instance, I want my companies' locations to always appear on a map, and a filter to select certain competitors. Eliminating the step to not have to select my company locations each time would be nice. It may be best for the default items not to appear in the filter.
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
This would also be useful to prevent SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR measures failing because a Month slicer was used before the Year slicer thus showing an error message due to non-contiguous date ranges. Ensuring that a single (and only one) value must always be selected on certain visualisations would be great.

Must have to open most of reports in a meaningfull way
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
This feature it's basic, when you are Analyzing metrics in daily basis, in mothly basis etc...
It's also very important when you work with large sets of data in direct query due to trying to minimize work load to the database
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
This feature is really key from a user prospective, please consider it for the next release !
RE: Default Selected Slicer or Tile-By Value Configuration
A default setting and a return to default on all option would be fantastic. A key point with reports would be to show the most relevant view first without restricting the data.
