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.

really needed to show default date as current month date range.

The preselected slicer value would also drastically reduce DB usage when a power BI report is connected to DB via DirectQuery. Currently we have a situation when user goes to report page and whole data is accessed before user select the dates he wan't to look at the date. This inceases the DB load by over 10x since normally user is interested on specific date data (not whole year...)

On a multi-tab report, this is an issue that can really get in the way of a user's flow. I receive emails all the time that a page is displaying the wrong metrics; when in actuality, the user has not updated their slicer to reflect the most current month when they switched tabs. If a user does not have a pleasant experience, there is less of a chance of them using your report.

This feature is important for viewing large data sets. Our example is that for a Region Sales Manager, he wants to look at store by store performance. Seeing all sellers at all stores is not useful. We want to default the chart to show all sellers at the first store (alphabetically) in his region so that the bar chart with sales performance information only shows 10-15 bars instead of hundreds which is not useful and is very visually unappealing
