Interactions between tables for multiple bookmarks

Hey @Anonymous akash1412 ,

Bookmarks in Power BI do not carry filter or selection context across pages. A bookmark only remembers the state of the page where it was created which visuals were shown, hidden, their positions, and optionally the filters/slicers on that page. But row selections inside a visual (like clicking a row in a table) are not preserved when navigating to another bookmark or page.

This is why:

• You click Common ID = 3 in Bookmark 1

• Then switch to Bookmark 2

• Bookmark 2 loads in its saved state and does not inherit the row selection from Bookmark 1

So even though your tables are related by Common ID, bookmark navigation breaks the interaction.

You can try the following alternative option by using a slicer instead of clicking rows:

Add Common ID as a slicer on all bookmark views (can be hidden if needed). Then, when you change the slicer selection:

• Table A (Bookmark 1) filters

• Table B (Bookmark 2) filters

• Put the slicer on all pages/bookmarks

• Use View → Sync Slicers

• Choose:

  • Sync = On

  • Visible = Off (where you don't want it to appear)

1) Table A filtered by using a slicer.

2) Table B also filtered by using the Table A current state.

I attached the pbix file you can check it out.
