How to trigger two bookmark from the single button on one click , in power bi desktop

[Mayurlandge79]

I am working in Power BI and would like to implement a solution where a single button triggers a group of bookmarks. Specifically, I have two groups of bookmarks:

• Group 1: Contains Bookmark A and Bookmark B

Group 2: Contains Bookmark C and Bookmark D My goal is that when Button 1 is clicked, Group 1 (both Bookmark A and Bookmark B) is applied together, and when Button 2 is clicked, Group 2(both Bookmark C and Bookmark D) is applied together. Could someone please suggest the best approach or best practices to implement this functionality in Power BI?

Hi @Mayurlandge79 ,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community Forum.

In Power BI Desktop, a single button cannot directly trigger multiple bookmarks simultaneously. Bookmarks are designed to capture a specific view or state of a report page, and a button can only be linked to one bookmark at a time. It is a limitation in Power BI.

Please try below alternative workarounds.

1. Use Selection Pane and Bookmarks, If your bookmarks are controlling visibility of visuals, you can Group visuals in the Selection Pane. Create a bookmark that toggles visibility for both groups. Assign that bookmark to the button.

2. Use Buttons with Navigation, If your bookmarks are on different pages, you can Use buttons to navigate to a page where the desired bookmark is already applied Or use page navigation and bookmark together.

I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you have any further queries.

Regards,

Dinesh

Hi @Mayurlandge79 ,

Thank you for the response. Their is no official microsoft documentation regarding confirmation of 

"A single button cannot directly trigger multiple bookmarks simultaneously". Please refer the below Microsoft community threads. And i have done repro from my side. Please refer below snap.

I have created two bookmarks "1" and "2" , assigned to the Group "Group1". Then i have created button , In Button options Action --> i have choosed type as "Bookmark" and in Bookmark section, i am able to see individual bookmarks or None options. At present Power bi supports, one button can only bind to one bookmark. Your request for. "how to trigger two bookmark from the single button on one click , in power bi desktop" is a valid thing , but at present that feature is not supporting in Power BI.

Hi, A button/action in Power BI can trigger only one bookmark at a time. You may consider merging your Bookmarks, say Bookmark A+B into a combined one (same for C+D) and have your button trigger them together.
