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.

RE: Epic idea: Apply filter selections automatically
Any update?
RE: Epic idea: Apply filter selections automatically
Anyone from Microsoft can comment on the status?
RE: Epic idea: Apply filter selections automatically
Can Power Bi give an update on the status of this? I need a report to default to current year and current pay period, out of a query that is generated every week. Right now the report consumers need to select the year and current period. The VP's want it to default to current on both hence the request. So right now for instance we would want year 2020, and period 22 selected in the slicer.
RE: Epic idea: Apply filter selections automatically
I would really like to see the ability to use a start and end date slicer, but that can default to a preselected date range such as the current month to date. Many users would still like the ability to view any date range, even if the report opens with the current month. Right now, it's not possible to have it both ways.
RE: Epic idea: Apply filter selections automatically
Has 3k votes and the last update on this is more than 2 years old! This feature is really needed, there is almost no project where this doesn't come up. This should work just like in SSRS, being able to set a default value for the slicer when the user opens the report (current year, current month, etc.).
And no, having another column in which I put "Current year" and use that as a slicer could be a workaround, but definitely nowhere near what the user wants to use, and let's be honest, it's not really a good solution on both ends: being the dev who needs to implement it or the user who need to understand why such a basic (reporting) functionality isn't implemented yet :(.

Please add this, for PowerApps / Power BI tiles this is a must have for our users to have a context chosen by default based on user login.
RE: Epic idea: Apply filter selections automatically
I have a Drop down list which contains multiple dates, This query refresh everyday and new date's data is being added on the list /table.
Whenever user opens the report latest date should be selected by default however user should have an option to choose other dates as well.
RE: Epic idea: Apply filter selections automatically
Same as many others, I have a date dropdown list that contains all the dates when a data collection was done. I need my dashboard to always default displaying the most recent date in the dropdown list, but the older dates also need to still be selectable from the DDL. Sometimes the most recent date is today, sometimes it's last week, sometimes it's a month ago. I don't see any way to do that with relative date slicers.
RE: Epic idea: Apply filter selections automatically
I have a single date filter slicer that I need it to default to the last available date. Not today, not yesterday, but the maximum available date on the dataset allowing the user to select other available dates on the report.
RE: Epic idea: Apply filter selections automatically
Relative slicer for 'last month' doesn't help. We need to have a dynamic default selection on a slicer with a list of months (same for years).
