Page navigation with button keeping filter values

Hi! My dashboard has 5 pages, each one showing info about a different department with different charts, objects and structure. There is also a sixth page with common KPIs shared by all deparments....

    Hi MarkTower  ,

    As you mentioned you don’t want the selected visual to not get reset once you click the back button in common KPI page as this is not feasible it would be better to create a

     

    bookmark where the required fields are selected so you can drill through like that. Once you get back from the common kpi page and it gets reset you can click on the required bookmark to get the desired state back.
    This is the best alternative approach if you are not able to use power BI service.

    Hope this clarifies
    Thanks and regards

Thanks v-nmadadi-msft for your reply.

 

We're using Power BI Report Server, and i don't see the persistent filter button as it's mentioned in the document which you linked (although i found the persistent filter configuration option on the report settings).

 

I'd appreciate you if you could elaborate on your suggestion to use bookmarks in department pages for the drill trhough. Although using the page drill-through works, we came out with the back button behaviour. Do you mean to add 5 buttons on the common KPIs page linked to the 5 department ID's bookmarks-pages, so we could go back?

 

Thanks in advance

Kind regards

    Thanks for your help v-nmadadi-msft

     

    Yeps, we eventually have to use bookmarks because there is not other way to get it to work as we expected. I think Power BI should improve a lot on these usability and UX issues.

     

    Thanks again for all your time and interest.
