Imagine a world where report creators can automatically apply slicer and filter selections based on specific logic, revolutionizing data analysis and user experience. This innovative approach eliminates any need for complex workarounds, optimizes slicer functionality, and paves the way for more efficient and effective data reporting.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
