Maintain Slicer Values through Bookmarks

Hi All,

 

I have a slicer called team and with values let's say 'A','B','C'. I have also created buttons Summary and Detail.

 

I am enabling different visuals using bookmarks for these buttons.

 

However the problem is the slicer does not maintain the value between different views of Summary and Detail.

 

e.g. I am in a Summary Section wiht Team 'A' selected and default view "Summary". When I click on Detail button the slicer changes it's value to "All".

 

Note : I do not want to set filter level to report level.

  • Hi npowerbi,

     

    On the bookmarks pane, right click on your bookmarks and deselect the Data option:

     

     

    When you create a bookmark with this option active it will always return to that specific filter in your case is the All.

     

    If you do this for all your bookmarks you should be abble to go from one to the other keeping slicer choice.

      Hi MFelix,

       

      Its true that unchecking the Data from bookmarks will keep slicer values across bookmarks, however it removes ALL filters regardless of if its a Page Filter, Visual Filter, or Slicer, which means that any default filters are dropped. Is it possible to retain default filters on the visuals while still allowing a single specific slicer to carry across bookmarks?

        Hi Anonymous,

         

         

        What you want is the contrary to what is in this post, is to maintain the filters when you return to the bookmark. So you need to have the Data option active, that way everytime you return to the bookmark will pick up the default values for the slicers.

         

        Regards.
