Cross-sync slicers and filters, using bookmarks

I'm building a report which has a "main menu" which is essentially a dashboard, but we're not able to use dashboards in this project, so we're using bookmarks to mimic the basic functionality. So on ...

    I have to admit that I don't understand exactly what your problem is.

     

    Because -> You can determine where the slicers are synced and displayed. (see first and second column of my screenshot below). (Sync Slicer Funcitonality)

     

     

    Can it be that you have to update your bookmarks because it can happen that there are strange behaviors due to not updated bookmarks?

     

    So what would I do now.

     

    1. Delete all slicers (except the ones from the first page) that would be synced/shown from the first page
    2. Sync/Show the first page slicer on all pages where I want them
    3. Update all bookmarks since they can store info that is no longer valid
    4. Finished

    If this post was helpful may I ask you to mark it as solution and give it some kudos?

    Have a nice day!

    BR,

    Hey Anonymous ,

     

    at the moment you cant mix/sync the "slicer/filter" functionalities. I would use one of them not both, since this would lead to some confusion.

I have a similar problem right now.

I have three slicers and respective bookmarks in all the pages that are synced. but the bookmark selection is overriding the slicer sync. 

i want to see the slicer as well but with the selection i made in the parent page. how to achieve this?

requirement:

1. I have 3 date slicers with 3 bookmarks in page1. 

2. I need this arrangement(three buttons and depends on selection the date slicers appear.) on all my pages 

3. the date slicers have to be in sync in all the pages(i.e. if i select 6/7/2021 in page 1 other pages also must be filtered with the same date and the slicer has to show me tht date.)

 

but the issue i am facing is, whenever I click on the button in other pages, the date slicer is updating as per bookmark unlike the slicer in the other page.

if i uncheck the data in the bookmark, the page is not filtered as per selected date.

if i select selected visuals the functionality is working fine i.e. the page is filtering as per my slicer selction in page1 but i am unable to see the slicer.

 

can someone help me please
