Visual level filter disappears in published report

[Datamijn]

Hi, 

i'm lost 🙂

I have my report published to my online workspace. It works like a charm. However after refreshing the page or after visiting another report suddenly some filters disappear. 

Im having several card visualisations which contain a visual filter of the Top 1 N based on total hits. Directly after publishing the filter is there, however as I said after refreshing or visiting another page in my workspace it disappears.

Anyone who has seen this before?

Kind regards

Hi,

I am experiencing the same issue with a report level filter on range of datetime values. Disappears sometimes and for some users on the published report version, so quite difficult to reproduce consistently and understand what is going on. Is the support team working on this?

Is there a known fix?  I am having the same issue.  I have a visual level filter applied in my desktop version but when I publish it the filter is removed.  But if I choose Reset to Default the filters are applied and everthing works as expected.

I solved my problem, and perhaps it applies to the original problem.

My issue was that I was utilizing bookmarks to navigate thru the different tabs.  The bookmarks were not updated with the new visual filter context.  Once I updated my bookmark with the correct filter context it published and worked as expected.

Hi there, 

How do you update the bookmark with the correct filter context when you have multiple visual level filters on that page? 

Thanks!

[tctrout]

Simply navigate to the bookbark & click update.  If you have other filters on other visuals and not getting desired effect, update the settings below for Data, Dispay, Current page, All Visuals, Selected Visuals.  Typically modifying these settings will get you the desired effect.

Great observation, I had the same issue, thanks to your post i could solve it.

I was having the same exact issue. Thanks for the bookmark trigger. As soon as you mentioed it it makes total sense. Thanks!

It seems like the bookmarks in general cause problems for filters and slicers. I'm not really sure about the documentation or how to update bookmarks, but this seems like an important bug that hasn't been fixed yet.

Thank you! This is the solution, sometimes we forget to check the obvious things!

Your answered worked for me, as I was having the same problem.

Thank you!

@v-yuta-msft more users are having issues on this. Do you know if there is a fix?

Set the page with all filters as you want them.  THEN and only then create a bookmark.  Use the new bookmark to the page.  If you created a bookmark already to the page, create a new one and change buttons to use new bookmark.  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-drillthrough

Hi I have this issue too.  Filters for top 5 by measure disappear once published. If I re-apply the filters, every time I exit the report and go back they have gone again!

So annoying am I doing something wrong.   To be clear, this issue is for PUBLISHED reports

[AdamBuckley]

and if I click reset to default they re-appear - why is this?

I want it to open with all the filters I have applied prior to publisheing please!

[Datamijn]

I never resolved this. My solution was to change de card to multicard. Not the ideal situation but it works. 

I have no clue why the filters disappear and indeed when reset to default they are back.

This is also happening to me, but with report level filters. It removes the relative date filter in the published version, but only for users that aren't me, so I didn't even know it was happening until someone brought it up to me. The filter box is still there, but it is set to all for other users, while for me it says last 365 days.

I am also facing the same issue since the last 2-3 days. Sometimes the published report works with a filter but sometimes it removes the relative date filter.

Hi Datamijn,

I've made a test on your issue but can't reproduce it. Could you share your pbix file with some dummy data for test?

Hi Jimmy,

thanks for your time and attention.

I've tried several things and it looks that its working now. I changed the normal card to multiple row card. 

However I'm still not sure what the exact problem is. I made pbix file with a Wrong and Right part.  (The right part is how it should look like, including the multiple row card now)

It seems that when the report is published first everything is fine. After visiting other reports and changing the filters in that report, going back to my original report the filters are gone. 

When I push the 'Reset to default' button, filters are back again.

The pbix file can be found here https://www.dropbox.com/s/z31uihejsjh5uuo/test%20filters.pbix?dl=0

and I've added some screenshots to show the missing filters

Hope this clarifies something.

So first it looks like thisGood situation      The filters are thereAfter visiting other reports and changing filters there, filters here have been removed    The top 1 N filter has been removed
