Selected Visuals Bookmarks and Filters

Hi,

 

I want to bookmark the current state of a table visual with one filter, and then bookmark it again with another filter, so that I can change between them.

 

I just want to bookmark that visual in particular, so I tried using the 'Selected Visuals' option, but it's not working for me. The bookmarks are just ignoring the filters.

 

How am I supposed to do this? 

Thanks!

    Hi Tropped,

     

    When you set filter and hide another visuals, please ensure you have clicked the Update next to the bookmark to save the status. 

     

     

    I have created a sample report, you can test this on your side. By the way, please keep running the latest Power BI desktop version. 

     

    Best Regards,

      Thanks! One more thing: everytime I add a new visual, the bookmarks ignore it, because I didn't select it when I did the bookmark.

      Is it possible to update the bookmark so it considers that visual, or do I have to make new bookmarks for everything everytime I put a new visual?

       

      Also, it would be nice if there was a 'default' visibility value for new visuals.

        Hi Tropped,

        Bookmarks in simple terms are similar to snapshots of your report. So whenever you make changes to your report, you should accordingly update your bookmark to reflect the same.

         

        So whenever you add a visual, your report will have it, but not your bookmark since you haven't updated it after the change.

        Hence you should update your bookmark everytime you make a change for it to reflect
