    Hi Frankllina ,

     

    If you want to show case different calculations I would go for the approach of the Field parameters instead of bookmarks.

     

    Bookmarks are very difficult to maintain and even harder to keep in sync with different options, for this type of interactions you need to hide/unhide the correct ones.

     

    Using a Field parameter you can change the values on a visual directly and then using additional columns you can create a hierarchy slicer that will be must easier to maintain.

    Hi Frankllina,
    From what I see in the images, number of buttons are less than expected. Also, seems like bookmark is not set properly if you say on selection on A again, A2 is selected and data of A1 is displayed.

     

    I have attached a pbix with the desired result. You can run through the bookmarks and buttons to understand how to achieve in your scenario.
    Here's what you will find in the pbix:
    When A1 is selected and you click on B, it would go the B1.

    When A1 is selected and you click on A2, it would go the A2.

    When A2 is selected and you click on B, it would go the B2.

    When A2 is selected and you click on A1, it would go the A1.

    When B1 is selected and you click on A, it would go the A1.

    When B1 is selected and you click on B2, it would go the B2.

    When B2 is selected and you click on A, it would go the A2.

    When B2 is selected and you click on B1, it would go the B1.

     

    Here's how the button structuring would look like:
