Filter not saving when saving online

[nickclarke1998]

Hi All,

Probably a simple one but I am saving a filter in the online editor, it is then locked, saved. And the graphic is then correct in the editor. However as soon as I go back to reading view, the graphic is back without that filter applied. Does anyone have any suggestions?

In the editor:

On the reading view:

Edit: what is stranger still, I connect a scorecard to this data and in the connect data view it is coming through as the correct values and graphic. 

Thanks in advance,

Nick

Hi All, I am having this same issue, except I already had the "Don't allow end user to save filters on the report" setting unselected, any ideas what else could casue this?

Persistent filters might be on for the report. Go to report settings and uncheck "Don't allow end user to save filters on the report". This will allow all users to be able to save the filters they applied.

You can also turn this off on Power BI Desktop so when you publish it, users will be able to save filters.

If you need all users to see only 3, edit the report, filter only the 3 you need and save or republish your report

Hello @nickclarke1998 ,

I would recommend to try setting it up in power bi desktop then publishing it so it will have these report published with it.

Thanks for this. Weirdly the filter was always on the original document and somehow probably just got lost on a refresh at somepoint!
