How to get 2 groups of bookmark to work in sync?

[Aditya_G]

Hi community,

I have a Power BI dashboard with two groups of bookmarks, lets say 1st group has bookmarks A1, A2 and second group has bookmarks B1, B2. 

When I select A1, I have only one single visualization (it's a large detailed table view) been displayed and rest hidden (those are bar charts, pie charts, etc.) and when I select A2 I have this visualization hidden and the rest displayed. For the second bookmark, I have two bar charts that are superimposed on each other and switch around when B1 or B2 is selected.

I have added bookmark navigators for the two groups. Let's say currently A2 and B1 are selected. When I select A1, I have this huge table displayed and then when I select A2, I find that my second bookmark has B1 selected but the bar chart is displayed corresponding to B2 (figured out it's because the chart corresponding to B2 is superimposed above the other chart). If I had A2 and B2 selected, before switching to A1 and then back to A2, I would find B2 as selected and the bar chart too displaying the one corresponding to B2.

All I need is as in the first situation, if the bookmark shows B1 selected, then as I switch from A1 to A2, I want either the bar chart corresponding B1 to be displayed instead of B2 or atleast the second bookmark to get switched to B2 since the chart is being displayed for B2.

Please let me know if there is a solution around, preferably if I can do this fix while having all the visuals on a single sheet and hiding/unhiding using selection.

Hi @Aditya_G ,

It seems like you are having an issue with bookmarks in Power BI. When a bookmark is applied, it removes previous cross-filters and cross-highlights. Therefore, when you switch from A1 to A2, the cross-selection is cleared and all the data is shown.

One solution to your problem could be to use the Edit Interactions feature in Power BI Desktop to control how interactions flow between visuals. You can exclude a visual from the interaction by clicking the None symbol in the upper right corner, near the filter icon.

Thanks for the response. I tried this before, unfortunately it didn't work. I think the problem is because there's no option to edit interactions for a bookmark. It's only available for a visual.
