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?

      v-danhe-msft  The Screenshot which i already provided should outline, that the Bookmarks will only affect visuals which are currently selected.

      However, to make this happening, i first need to select visuals. 

      During this selection, PowerBI Desktop is unresponsive as soon as i slect more then  1 visual. 

      I notice this behaviuour after the Copy&Past feature was introduced. 

       

      Hope this makes more sense now. 

       

      Best,
