    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.

     

    Regards,

Hi MFelix,

 

I was going throught this post and found very useful and was able to resolve my issue.

 

But, i have an added scenario to this, so i thought this would be the right place to add.

 

I was able to maintain default filters, but when i use a flip button to shift between two bookmarks, the buttons do not interchange.

 

I.e We have two views -  Unknown, Known

 

There is a default slicer for unknown, which i selected and created a bookmark with selected visual and data as active. It is working fine if i switch between the pages with the selected filters.

 

But when i try to do the same with a flip button (I used images here).  The visibility that i gave to thse buttons is not syncing between both the bookmarks.

 

Could you please help.

Hi Anonymous,

 

Believe that what you are looking for is to select the Unkown Bookmark and the Button that is available will be Know and vice versa correct?

 

In this case you need to select the button Unknow and on the selection pane make it invisible, and update the Unkown Bookmark select the ... on the bookmark and choose update.

 

Then Select the Other bookmark and hide the Know button and update the Bokkmark also.

 

 

Check the PBIX attach.

 

Regards,

MFelix
