Clear all slicers on Dashboard

I have a slicer clearing button using bookmarks on a PBI report. My report has 2 pages, one for internal team members and one that excludes some of the data from the first page. I was going to use a dashboard to share the second page with more people with the excluded data so that they wouldnt have the ability to go to the internal members page. 

 

Obviously making the report show as a dashboard kills my ability to use bookmarks and buttons. Is there a way to only share one page of a report to a teams channel instead of making it a dashboard page? i fear the outside users will get confused while using multiple slicers and without a clear button i will be getting request after request asking where the data went. 

 

thank you for any help.

Hi @effertz12 

You're right that when you pin a Power BI report page to a dashboard, you lose interactive features like slicers, bookmarks, and clear filter buttons, which can be frustrating—especially when trying to simplify the experience for external users. Unfortunately, dashboards are static snapshots and don’t support the full interactivity of report pages. If your goal is to share only the second page of the report with external users (while hiding the internal page), the best approach is to publish a separate report that contains only the second page.

 

You can do this by duplicating your original report in Power BI Desktop, deleting the internal-use page, and then publishing this trimmed-down version separately. This way, your clear slicer button using bookmarks will continue to work, and you maintain full report interactivity. You can then share this second report directly in a Teams channel or via a link without worrying about user confusion or filter issues. While it's a bit of extra setup, it provides a much better user experience than dashboards for this use case.
