Why is my bookmark messing with my filter?

Hello, 

 

Can anybody please tell me why my bookmark is messing with my filter and how to fix it? I have 2 buttons called Market Attractiveness & Competitive Position and Weights & Ratine on top of my bubble chart. They link two bookmarks.

When I click on Weights & Ratine it will change the chart and the filter remains the same.

 When I click back Market Attractiveness & Competitive Position, it will change my filter to default (no filter or unselect the filter). I am not sure why that is.

I tried to fix this using the remove filter and updating bookmarks, and updated the bookmark with a filter. Still the same, not sure how to fix it. Can anybody please help. 

 

Sample File please click below

I want to work my bookmark regardless of the filter, (not only Demovill other filters as well and no fil filter as well). It should work fine with whatever selected without changing it. 

 

Thank you so much

@amitchandak , Thank you for the response. I am not about the value. I added the bookmarks without a filter then, later I added the filter. What is happening now is when I click on a button, my filter changes. Any idea thanks.

Hi @bikelley ,

 

You could have missed updating the bookmark while adding the filter at a later stage.

I tried with the sample provided by you and it is working fine.

Try updating the filter and then click on bookmark explicitly update as in the screenshot below:

I hope it will work for you

@PC2790 ,

Thank you for trying out, I did update on both chart and data book mark. Here is the issue. If you take out filter from filter all pages filter panel then update the both bookmarks. 

You are going to add the Name filter and select "Demovill". When you click on the Weights & Ratine  button, the filter will be default or unselect (i know we update the bookmark with no filters), but I want to be able to change the filter and work fine when I toggle.  

Basically I have so many names and when I filter one of them, it should stick with the filter instead of deselecting when I toggle. 

Does it make sense? it's hard to explain. I appreciate any help on this.
