v-yulgu-msft is there a workaround for this? I believed that bookmarks should keep state of slicers irrespective of if they are using grouping or not. But in this case it is reseting when I use slicer groups. The scenario that I menitoned in the question is one of the best scenario where slicer grouping can be used. Based on your answer, do I have to show multiple slicers to user with same values just because slicer grouping does not work with bookmarks? Please help me with the solution.

Hi bhavesh-jadav,

 

After I unchecked the Data section on each bookmark, the slicer selection retained when I switched across bookmarks. Please set the same the option property ("Display", "Current Page" and "All Visuals") as below to see if it works in your scenario.

    Hi v-yulgu-msft

     

    What you are saying works perfectly if we are not using Slicer Group under Advance Slicer Syncing feature which came out in May. In the GIF that I attached in original post. You can see that I have unchecked Data Bookmarks.

     

    After further testing I found out that it is not woking with SSAS Multidimensional Live connection but when I do import query, It is working. I do no understand this strage behaviour. I can not share PBIX file as it is live connection. Can you test this with live connection?. Make sure to apply Slicer Grouping feature if you are testing.

     

    Thanks,
