Adding a new bookmark changes the previous one and buttons do not work
Hi experts! I am new to adding bookmarks and buttons in PowerBI.
I want to add bookmarks and buttons on the same page of my report.
I followed the steps:
- Select the visuals from selected page> add bookmark> untick data, current page and all visuals> update
- Select the visuals for secod bookmark> followed the same steps as above.
But when I add the second bookmark, first bookmark also changes to the second one and finally there is no difference in two bookmarks.
Then I tried to add a button (using a blank one) and added action> bookmark> and selected the bookmark. But after that when I click on the button it does not change the view.
Appreciate your help! 🙂
Hi Anonymous ,
Not sure if this can help but you must be sure of that you always select the visuals on both bookmarks, This means for example if you have 4 visuals and in one you want to present 2 and on another the other 2.
In this case select the 4 visuals hide the two you want and (create) update your bookmark, then select once again the 4 visuals change hide the ones you need and show the others and do the other bookmark.
I know that this is not very intuitive, and frustrating but you should must be carefull with the selections and when you create/update the bookmarks.
If you need further assistance please tell me or feel free to send private messsage.

Hi Anonymous ,
The bookmarks sometimes can be very patiente consuming.
What are you doing on the bookmarks? Hiding visualizations? What do you want to achieve?
First I need to add two bookmarks. Then I need to add a button to switch between these bookmarks on the same page.
- I hid some visuals on the page and added the first bookmark. Changed the settings> update
- Then I hid visuals for the second bookmark and added the bookmark again. Changed the settings> update.
But when I add the second bookmark, first bookmark also changes for the second. I really can't understand why. When I add the button, it does not work. I tried to check this after publishing to a test workspace. But still when I click on the button, nothing happens. And it is published with the visuals for second bookmark. I followed few tutorials on bookmarks and buttons, but although I followed the same steps this happens. Appreciate your time and support.
