    duddys This is automatic in the Power BI Service. The Power BI Service automatically saves user selections and filters as a sort of automated bookmark.

    Hi, 

     

    If i understand your question correct, you may want to keep 'Don't allow end user to save filters on this report' unchecked, under Report Setting in Service

    Hi duddys , by default, when you reload a report in Power BI Service, the filters revert to the report's published state unless you use persistent filters or bookmarks. This behaviour ensures consistency, but it can be changed.

     

    If this response was helpful in any way, I’d gladly accept a 👍much like the joy of seeing a DAX measure work first time without needing another FILTER.

    Please mark it as the correct solution. It helps other community members find their way faster (and saves them from another endless loop 🌀.

    Hi duddys 

     

    As what other users have already mentioned,  enabling persistent filter in the report should  be able to achieve this. Bear in mind though that persistent filters are not selective - it will save every slicer selections and the most recent bookmark a user has triggered. The are no other  options to save the user selection for just a specific filter.
