Hi  MFelix ,

Thanks for the workaround.
The application users are used to the one-click functionality . Is there any other way to achieve this ?

Hi Anonymous ,

 

You need to go to the second page based on the bookmark and then be abble to change the 2nd page based on  slicer if you need?

    Yes, that's correct.

      Hi Anonymous ,

       

      Is there any issue if you have a button to clear the slicer from the button of the previous page? Or would this create a problem with the usage of the report?

       

      When you use bookmarks (especially data related) the information gets "frozen" so you need to use another bookmark to return to normal behaviour, if you are abble to accept this then you can add a filter on the page filter (hidden) with the ID you need for each bookmark associated with the buttons on the other page.

       

      Then create a bookmark on the second page without any ID selected, and add a button to your page when the user selects that bookmark the slicer allows other selections.

        Hi MFelix ,

        I highly appreciate your response. Will it be possible for you to demonstrate this using a sample PBIX file and sample data as I have mentioned above.

        Also , could you please elaborate further on what you meant by these lines,
        "if you are abble to accept this then you can add a filter on the page filter (hidden) with the ID you need for each bookmark associated with the buttons on the other page.

         

        Then create a bookmark on the second page without any ID selected, and add a button to your page when the user selects that bookmark the slicer allows other selections."

        Thanks in advance.

      Hi Anonymous ,

       

      Do you hav anything against having a button on the second page to clear the filter so you can "activate" the slicer?

       

      Or does this messes with the user experience?

        Hi MFelix ,

        I am okay to have a reset/clear button on the second page to clear the filter so I can "activate" the slicer.

        Thanks.
