    Hi,

    Yes, bookmarks save the state of the report, including the slicer value, so if you create a bookmark while vessel 1 is selected, that bookmark will always return to vessel 1, so in practice you would need multiple bookmarks, one for each vessel, each bookmark storing a different slicer value, and the buttons would point to those bookmarks.

    Because of this it does not scale well with many vessels, since Power BI cannot automatically increase the slicer value with a button, for many vessels it is usually easier to use a slicer.

    You’d need over a hundred bookmarks because each item requires its own view with Previous and Next buttons linked to separate bookmarks. This approach isn’t scalable and would be a maintenance nightmare. The closest out of the box solution is the Play Axis visual.
