Using buttons (APPLY and RESET)

Hi all, 

I want to ask one thing that I have created a dashboard that contains 5 slicers, so my dashboard is filtering as per my slicers as soon as I press selectively on the slicer, my values on the dashboard changes.
But I want like somebody make some selections in all the slicers and then press APPLY button , then all the changes appear in my dashboard and not before pressing the APPLY button.

same case with the RESET Button, like if somebody made some selections in the slicers , i just want to reset all those selections, How to go ahead with this ?

so, is this type of functionality available in POWER BI ?

 

Can somebody please help ?
Thanks !

    Hi Anonymous ,

    1. For the Apply button, I'm afraid there is no option about this in power bi desktop. As we know, slicers are used as a page filter that affects other visuals in one page. What we can do is just edit interactions with other visuals if we want to not sync instead of show all the interaction results at the same time. If you really want this feature, you can sumbit this idea to https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas to help us improve power bi and make this feature coming sonner.
    2. For the Reset button, if you want to clear all filters, you can try to use bookmark to store the initial status for the page.

    Hi Anonymous!

     

    So, for the apply button I don't know any solution. Let's see if somebody has an idea!

    For the reset button, you can use a bookmark in which you clean the selection of all slicers.

     

    Let me know if you have some question!
