New button slicer bug
Hello, The new button slicer is an amazing new addition to the PowerBI toolkit. However, I suspect that there could be a bug in relation to interacting with the slicer through buttons and bookmar...
I have encounted the exact same issue. Here are the steps to recreate.
- In order to recreate the issue simply make a new shape and add some new button slicers to it. This will be your slicer panel that you want to Show and Hide through a couple buttons and bookmarks.
- Group the elements in the panel together to make it easier to apply bookmarks.
- Add 2 buttons to the page. One will "Show" the slicer panel and the other will "Hide" the panel.
- Create a new bookmark, deselect Data and select Selected Values. Make sure the slicer panel is showing and elements are selected. Update the bookmark. Rename it "Show Panel"
- Create another bookmark, deselect Data and select Selected Values. Make sure the slicer panel is NOT showing and the elements are selected. Update the bookmark. Rename it "Hide Panel"
- Now assign the bookmarks to the actions of the corresponding buttons.
- Test it by showing the panel, making a selection of some slicer option. Hide the panel using the button, and show the panel again using the button. You will see the slicer values reset. Now try the same steps but instead use the bookmarks panel to show and hide and you will see the slicer values do NOT reset.
