Unable to remove Page Filter from PBI page

[mdm2025]

Hi everyone,

I have a peculiar issue. I have one page that shows several page filters placed on the filter menu. 
The respective data columns were not intended for that particular page so I can't really recall how they end up being placed as page filters so I would like to remove them. 
I am however unable to remove them because I am missing the "x" from the hover menu when hovering on either of them. One of the page filters is actually showing an error because it was a hierarchy I was experimenting in creating a drillthrough setup but I already deleted it from the data model(not sure how it ended up being placed as page filter on a unrelated page...but I guess I did that :😊) 

and these are the rest. As you can see the "x" button is not available so I can remove any of them. 

Thank you for your support.

Best,

Marius

Hi, since the Column 'Survery Type Grouped' no longer exists the filter can’t be interacted with. so the “x” disappears. If you find trouble-shooting difficult i'd suggest creating a new page, copying and pasting all visuals over.

Hi @MasonMA ,

That was my suspicion as well. Thank you for confirming. 

I would just consider this one PowerBi glitches that are yet to be addressed and just build the page again( I got a lot of slicers and have to manually check all of them because the selected values are not copied over in the copy-paste).

Best regards,

Marius

You could save the file as .PBIP rather than a .PBIX, but make sure you have a backup as a .PBIX first. Have a look through the files for the report searching for "Survey Type", you should hopefully be able to identify the filter entry or entries and remove them.

When you've removed them, reopen the report in Power BI and resave it as a .PBIX again.
