What it does
The Preselected Slicer filters other visuals in Power BI reports by a selected dimension. A column or measure determines which values are selected when a report opens. The model supplies the default selection, so report changes are not required when the selection changes. Users can select other years or months, and a third technical measure keeps the slicer's dirty status updated across pages.
