Solution

  • What you ask is not directly possible in Power BI, but you can achieve something similar using bookmarks. Leave the slicer in the report without any selection, then login as each user (or ask them to do it themselves) and create personal bookmark with the desired items selected for the current user, and make this bookmark to be the default view. Now, whenever the user return to the report, this will override the persistent filter state (specified by you in the report) and land him in the view specified by the bookmark.
