Bookmarks won't keep the selected action

[AndreiK15]

I have two buttons, one for categories and one for charts categorie. I have 4 categories. I have created bookmarks for each state. This is what each state looks like:

Button 1 (for categories) and Button 2 for charts. These are the states and what should act:

1. Btn1 - Off / Btn2 - Off - it shows tables for cat 1 and cat 2 on the left and a chart for all 4 categories on the right
2. Btn 1 - On / Btn 2 - Off - it shows tables for cat 3 and cat 4 on the left and chart for all 4 categories on the right
3. Btn 1 - Off / Btn 2 - On - it shows tables for cat 1 and cat 2 on the left and two charts (cat 1 and cat 2) on the right
4. Btn 1 - On/ Btn 2 - On - it shows tables for cat 3 and cat 4 on the left and two charts (cat 3 and cat 4) on the right.

I have added the following actions for each button on each state:

1. Btn1-Off /Btn 2 - Off - for Btn1 (Btn1-On/Btn 2 - Off) and for Btn 2 (Btn1-Off/Btn 2 - On)
2. Btn 1 - On /Btn 2 - Off - for Btn 1 (Btn1 - Off / Btn 2 - Off) and for Btn 2 (Btn 1 - On /Btn 2 - On)
3. Btn 1 - Off / Btn 2 - On - for Btn 1 (Btn 1 - On/Btn 2 - On) and for Btn 2 (Btn 1 - Off / Btn 2 - Off)
4. Btn 1 - On / Btn 2 - On - for Btn 1 (Btn 1 - Off/Btn 2 - On) and for Btn 2 (Btn 1 - On/Btn 2 - Off)

Some states works and when I click the desired button it takes the action I want, but some takes actions I didn't selected. As example:

Btn 1 - Off/Btn 2 - Off - when I click btn 1 it should go to bookmark Btn1-On/Btn 2 - Off, but it will go to Btn1-On/Btn 2 - On.

After every button assignment I updated each bookmark.

Why won't keep the actions I've choosed?

Hi @Anonymous,

Thanks for your replay. I created all visuals first and then create a bookmark for each state. On my reasarch I have found that a button can have only one state so to solve this issue, I create 4 more buttons (8 buttons in total) and associated actions to each one.

It works fine now.

Thank you!

Hi @AndreiK15,

How did you create these bookmarks and saving these filters? Create a bookmark with some filters and add new visual and filters to saving in another bookmark?

IF that is the case, I'd like to suggest you take a look at the limits of the bookmark feature:

Create bookmarks in Power BI Desktop to share insights and build stories#limitations-and-considerati... 

If you add a visual on a report page after creating a bookmark, the visual is displayed in its default state. That is, if you introduce a slicer into a page where you previously created bookmarks, the slicer behaves in its default state.

I'd like to suggest you add all visuals first, then you can manually change each visual filter and interaction to saving to different bookmarks.
