How to keep the filter when changing between bookmarks?

I created a two-page report
The first page contains cities and I linked them to the second page by bookmarking
The second page contains two references

My question is how to keep the selected city (in the first page) on the second page when changing between bookmarks

THANKS

    TomMartens Agree with you but he has to both option Sync slicer and ( uncheck data if using bookmark) otherwise he can use Page navigation to visit next page and use sync slicer to keep the same filter (slicer) on both page .

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    If you want to keep your filters intact while switching between bookmarkes, you will have to uncheck the 'Data' option from the settings:

    This is turned off so that the filters aren't reset when the views are switched while using Bookmarks.

  • Anonymous Hello ,
    While creating bookmark .Kindly uncheck data option from 3 dot at right side of bookmark.



    It will keep the same filter while using bookmark. 


    Kindly give kudos 👍 if it is fulfilling your requirement .


    Thanks

  • Hey Anonymous ,

     

    basically it's not possible to set a certain value/selection using bookmarks. Next to navigation bookmarks can also be considered being a toggle between states like hiding or unhiding certain visuals.

     

    What you are looking for can be achieved by using synching slicer selections, this article explains how you can achieve what you are looking for: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/power-bi-visualization-slicers

     

    Hopefully this provides some ideas on how to tackle your challenge.

     

    Regards,

    Tom

  • Hey HarishKM , PC2790 ,

     

    I consider it important to notice that disabling the data option from the bookmark properties does not guarantee, that the current slicer selection will be propagated to the new page.

    Page navigation is at the center of the question from Anonymous , for this reason, it's neceassary to use slicer synchronization.

     

    Regards,

    Tom
