Is it possible not to overwrite filters on publishing report ?

[truttafisker]

When I make a report i experience that the filter settings that the users have made, are being overwritten by the filter settings that I have made in the report when I publish a report.

Is it possible to somehow avoid this ? so that the filter settings the users have made are never overwritten when I publish the report ?

Hello @truttafisker ,

yes, they can make personal bookmarks in power bi service, in this way they can go back to the filters the applied within one click

if I don't want to make bookmarks (or the users shouldn't make bookmarks) and I don't want the filtering options that they already have made to be overwritten .. what could/should I do ?

@truttafisker ,

the bookmarks on the web are different on the bookmarks on the desktop, it just capture automatically the filters, there's no development in it.

its like bookmarking a website.

Hello @truttafisker 

You can keep each user’s filter settings intact by making sure persistent filters are left on and not disabling them in your report’s settings. In Power BI Desktop, open File → Options and settings → Options → Current File (Report settings) and ensure that “Don’t allow end users to save filters” is not checked so that the service remembers each user’s customized filters between sessions

Please give it a try

If this helps please accept the solution
