Hi Everyone,
I'd like to quickly ask how to retain the current state when drilling back.
For example, I have a long table, and after scrolling down and drilling through to another page, I'd like to return to the original page and see the same information (with the table still scrolled down) instead of the default view. My table is very long, so it's challenging to locate the previous information again.
Thanks,
Hi @xiumi_hou ,
I think you can use bookmarks, I create a table as you mentioned.
Then I create a bookmark and put it in the buttons.
Finally you will get what you want.
Best Regards

Thank you for your reply... I mean.... for exmaple... if a table is very long..... I scroll down my table to look at the bottom.. .when I drill back use the button.. .I want the preivsouly page table still to show at the bottom.. not to back to the standard bookmark I created...
Hi @xiumi_hou ,
I think if you want to go back to the original page and keeping the slider still is not currently possible in Power BI because the underlying internal logic is to go back to the top of the slider by default.

Is there a solution for this? Or an alternative solution? For exmple i have a matrix table expand and I would like the matrix to still be expand
Hi @xiumi_hou ,
If there is no wheel on the page, all these actions can be solved by the Bookmark I mentioned earlier, but if there is a wheel, Power BI Desktop does not have this feature so that the return remains in its original position.
Of course, if you need this feature badly, I recommend posting your ideas on the Idea platform, here's the link to Idea: Home (microsoft.com)
