Bookmark not remembering filter in filter pane

Hi,

 

I have a bookmark called "RankByPrevYear" which should effectively hide the filter "TopN Filter Curr Year".

I have updated the bookmark "RankByPrevYear" as per the image below:

But when I manually unhide the filter "TopN Filter Curr Year" so its like this:

and then click on back on my bookmark "RankByPrevYear" it doesn't hide the filter "TopNFilter Curr Year". It still shows it as unhidden.

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Hi @mp390988 

The bookmark feature in Power BI allows toggling between different visual states – such as filtered vs. unfiltered visuals, or showing and hiding slicers and charts.

However, it does not control the visibility of individual filters inside the filter pane, because that's part of the user interface (UI), not the report canvas visuals.

If your goal is to allow the user to toggle or hide the filter dynamically, consider using a slicer on the report page instead of a filter in the pane. Slicers can be shown or hidden via bookmarks, offering a similar experience but with better control.

@mp390988 To the best of my knowledge, bookmarks have never preserved the visible/hidden state of filters in the Filters pane.
