Force the user to select an option

[hjameelq]

If I have a list of cities and I need to froce the user to select one of the list - apart from the single selection - because the whole view doesn't make any sense because each city present 100 percent so I don't need to view the data without filteration. Is there a way that I can force the user to select a city or set one city as a default selection but I don't want the user to uncheck all, one option has to be selected. Is there a way to do this.

One more thing, If I want to filter at report level, but I want to do this by using the embedded link, can I do that, because I tried but the filter control I added filtered only at page level. 

I would really appreicate your help with these two issues.

In Power BI Desktop, if you want to force user to select on option, you can use Query Parameter and set Filter on table in Query Editor.

To add filter within embedded link, you can set filter parameter in Report URL. For more details, please refer to a similar thread:
