Power BI bookmarks issue

Hi,

 

I have a report which have multiple bookmarks as shown in image below:

asharma2_1-1730996998321.png

 

I am trying to add a filter to the selected visual for each of the bookmark. It is working fine as I go from 1st bookmark to last bookmark setting the visual filter and hitting update on each bookmark. As soon as I set the visual filter for last bookmark i.e. Quality Incident and navigate back to the any other bookmark the visual filter I applied gets cleared but it stays on the Quality Incident bookmark only. I have tried doing it multiple times and its not working.

Can anyone help me understand the problem here?

Thanks in advance.

Make sure that, when updating the bookmark, you have "affect only selected visuals" activated, and have the correct visuals selected. Also check that you have not overwritten you first bookmark by mistake. Also bookmarks can be very finnicky, finish fully creating one before selecting another, and make sure to always have Ctrl pressed to not click off by mistake. Also check if all of your bookmarks have "affect data" enabled, your first one may also have it checked but you may not have refreshed it.

Also sometimes PBI can get slow, try clearing the cache, saving and reopening you report, and try recreating the bookmarks.

Hi @Anonymous 

That worked like magic. I updated the setting to "affect only selected visuals".

 

Thanks for help.
