Power BI slicers don’t support a true “NULL” default like SSRS. But you can simulate it by:
- Adding a “No Date” or blank row to your date table
- Using DAX to handle unselected states
- Creating bookmarks/buttons to clear slicers
- Building a toggle with a parameter table
It’s not native, but with a bit of creativity, you can mimic SSRS-style behavior.
