clear all slicer selection

Hi, Is there a way to clear all current selection (kind of go back to the default slicer setting when the report was loaded) with just one action ?

Hi,

 

So my bookmarked image (eraser) does deslect all slicers as intended. However, when I created my bookmark I had no slicers selected AND nothing selected within my matrix/tables. While the selecting the bookmarked link image will deselect slicers it seems it will not revert any selection made additionally within tables. will deslect slicers but keep any drilled/random matrix select.

 

So my questions is:

is there any way to force this bookmark to also revert the matrix cross selections?

    Hey, let me jump in here.  I've been wrestling with these things...and clear all is pretty cool...though since bookmarks now capture crossfiltering, it seems like that can get "stuck" like you're describing.

     

    What I just did for "clear all"  (versus toggle visuals showing) is right click the "clear all" bookmark created and update with "display" unchecked.  I think that's the crossfiltering from visuals.  Anyway, it seems to work.  But I guess the thing is to play around with what the bookmark saves.  On another it seems to work when I uncheck current page....go figure.  I think clicking fewer things might be the answer.

     

    (Is that vague enough for you!  Sorry, I'm in the same space and sorting out as well.)  Tom

      Hi Tom, I see that a bookmark, which I created in Dec and used it for clearing all the filters (reset filters), is no longer working as expected. We noticed this across the bookmarks that we have used in our reports. Dont know the exact reason but sure that it is not working as expected. Can you please confirm, if bookmarks are working as intended ?

        For what it's worth, I was having the same issue regarding bookmarks as a "clear slicers" function last week. (I am using an 'red X' icon as a clear all button linked to the bookmark on the page in the report - see picture).

         

         

         

         

        (The exclamation mark is a warning sign to alert users that a selection or various selections in the slicers is/are active)

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

        I first reported the issue on the Desktop forum Bookmark Bug on Desktop Forum and then thought it was worth reporting it as an issue on the Issues forum Bookmark Bug on Issues Forum

         

        So to cut things short, the bookmark was inconsistent both from the report page itself (clicking on  the icon) and if navigating between pages. Yesterday I tried again an the "bug" has auto-magically gone away. At least that was the case on the Desktop App. I tried from the mobile app and the bug was still there when clicking the icon, but when I used the bookmark to go to the page itself from another page, the bookmark behaved as expected, and henceforth it worked fine from the page itself (icon).

         

        So there is something going on. but in my case, it seems to have eventually cleared itself up (thus far...), albeit leaving an acute sense of discomfort with regards to reliability.

         

        Probably not very helpful, but I thought it was worth commenting: "you are not alone in your woes!"

         

        Regards,

         

        Paul.
