Slicer gets reset when using bookmark

Hi User,

The behavior you're seeing is expected if the bookmark is capturing the current state of all slicers. When you select a bookmark, Power BI restores everything that was saved in the bookmark, including your dropdown slicer selections.

To keep the dropdown slicers while only changing the date range, try the following:

• Open the Bookmarks pane.

• Select the bookmark (WTD, MTD, QTD, YTD, etc.).

• Click the ... (More options) next to the bookmark and choose Update after adjusting its settings.

• Disable Data if you only want the bookmark to control navigation or visibility.

• If you need the bookmark to affect only specific visuals, enable Selected visuals and include only the date slicer (or visuals that should respond to the bookmark), leaving the dropdown slicers excluded.

Another approach is to replace bookmarks with a disconnected parameter table and DAX measures (Today, WTD, MTD, QTD, YTD). This avoids bookmark state management altogether and allows users to retain their other slicer selections while dynamically changing the date filter.

Could you also confirm:

• Are your bookmarks configured with Data enabled?

• Are they set to All visuals or Selected visuals?

That will help determine the best approach for your scenario.
