Selecting multiple visuals for Bookmark creation is not working

[nrobi]

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.

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.

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,
