Selecting multiple visuals for Bookmark creation is not working

Hi all, 

 

when i try to select multiple visuals (Crtl+Click) to creat bookmarks for "only selected visuals" my PowerBI Desktop is just not doing it. It slows down and is not selecting the other visuals which i am clicking. 

Anyone else expirencing those kind of issues? 

 

Thanks. 


Best,

    Hi nrobi ,

    Based on my research, I am afraid the bookmark function could not achieve this feature, When you create a bookmark, the following elements are saved with the bookmark:

    • The current page
    • Filters
    • Slicers, including slicer type (for example, dropdown or list) and slicer state
    • Visual selection state (such as cross-highlight filters)
    • Sort order
    • Drill location
    • Visibility (of an object, using the Selection pane)
    • The focus or Spotlight modes of any visible object

    So maybe you could submit an idea in ideas forum:

      Hi v-danhe-msft

       

       

       

      In a Bookmark you can adjust which visuals should be affacted by the bookmark ( All visuals on the page or only the currently selected visuals: 

      To enable this, you first need to select all visuals which you want to be affected by the bookmark and then you create the bookmark. However, when i try to selecting muliple visuals in my report it is not working and PowerBI desktop slows down and does not select more visual then the one already selected initially. 

      I notice the behaivour since the "copy&past feature was enabled for PBI Desktop.

      Does it make more sense now? 

       

      Thanks.

      Best,

        Hi nrobi ,

        I could not figure out what is your desired result, could you please offer your desired result if possible and post a sample data to have a test?
