Resolver IApply all slicers bug - Reset hidden filters
Super UserHey zzinoun ,
Based on your description, I understand the issue revolves around slicers getting reset when navigating between Bookmarks A and B, but only when the "Apply to all slicers" button is used.
Expected Behavior: The expected behavior, as you mentioned, is that hidden slicers should retain their values when switching between bookmarks, even with the "Apply to all slicers" button. This should ideally prevent the reset of hidden slicers' filter values.
Cause: The behavior you're experiencing may be due to the way the slicers are being reset when the "Apply to all slicers" action is triggered. When slicers are hidden, Power BI may treat them as unselected filters, and the reset occurs as part of the slicer management.
Possible Workaround/Recommendation:
Bookmarked States: Ensure that the "Apply to all slicers" button doesn't force a reset of all slicers, especially the ones hidden, unless explicitly desired.
Use of Sync Slicers: If slicers are meant to stay consistent across multiple views, consider using Sync Slicers across bookmarks. This ensures that slicers in one bookmark retain their values when switching.
Manual Reset Control: Add a manual reset button for slicers that users can use if they need to reset specific slicers to defaults. This avoids accidental resets when switching between bookmarks
I recommend reviewing the configuration of the "Apply to all slicers" button and how it interacts with hidden slicers. Try testing the behavior with synced slicers and adjusting visibility settings to make sure that filter selections are preserved as intended.

Resolver IThank you for your reply.
It is clearly a bug as i stated before. both bookmarks are in the same page and both data and selected visuals are set accordingly.

zzinoun - I dont think this is a bug, I think it may be by design (because it is only manipulating visible slicers, and I can think of situations where hidden ones should remain untouched.
The behaviour I was describing works when the "Apply all Slicers" button is not used. So my suggestion would be to move away from that, or use the in-built filter pane, which does not need a complicated bookmark set up process, and has a more sophisticated approach to searching.
If you believe this is a bug, you should raise it with MS Support, here: https://app.powerbi.com/admin-portal/supportCenter?experience=power-bi&target=createTicket
If I answered your question please mark my post as the solution, it helps others with the same challenge find the answer!

Hi zzinoun ,
Thank you for your clarification, and I understand your frustration. Based on your feedback, it seems like this behavior is indeed unexpected and could be a bug. Given that both bookmarks are on the same page, with data and selected visuals set accordingly, the slicers should retain their state when switching, even with the "Apply to all slicers" button being used. In that case Submit a Bug Report or Test on a New Report
