Issue with Slicer Pane Displacement in Power BI Service

[bhartisharma_in]

Hi everyone,

I’m encountering an issue with the slicer pane in my Power BI report. I’m using the bookmark feature to open and close the slicer pane. After resizing all the slicers and updating the bookmark, everything looks fine in edit mode. However, once I save the changes and switch to reading mode in the Power BI service, the slicers get displaced from their positions. The text boxes and slicers overlap, making the report look messy.

Interestingly, when I switch back to edit mode and start editing, the slicers return to their normal positions just by hovering over them.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any suggestions on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @bhartisharma_in , thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

I agree with @suparnababu8 reply. Also, consider the following:

1. Sometimes browser cache can cause issues. Clear the cache and cookies.
2. Ensure Power BI Service is updated to the latest version.
3. Disable the responsive layout to avoid resizing issues.

Hi

Slicers shifting after you update bookmarks can be super frustrating, especially in the Power BI Service. Here’s my go-to checklist that’s worked every time:

1. When you update your bookmark, make sure “Data”, “Display”, and “Current Page” are all checked. If any of these are left out, slicers and visuals don’t always keep their place or state.
   
   

2. Group slicers and their related visuals together (right-click > Group). This keeps them anchored and moving together if you shift anything.
   
   

3. Turn off “Responsive” for slicers. Responsive mode sometimes causes slicers to resize or move unexpectedly when bookmarks are triggered.
   
   

4. Every time you change a slicer’s position or size, re-save (update) the bookmark. Power BI only saves what you tell it, so if you move anything, you have to update the bookmark again.
   
   

5. Double-check the Z-order in the Selection pane make sure nothing is overlapping in a weird way.
   
   

6. If it still happens, try grouping a blank shape or background behind your slicers and visuals. Sometimes that extra layer locks things down.
   
   

7. And as a last resort: clear your browser cache/cookies and make sure Power BI Service is up to date.
   
   

With these steps, my slicers always stay put in both edit and reading mode. Hope this helps someone else out!

Hi @bhartisharma_in 

I'm not sure why you are facing even after updatign the bookmark. If you haven't  tried, please follwo the below steps

1. Check your bookmarks are correctly capturing the state of the slicers and text boxes. Sometimes, bookmarks might not save the exact positions if they are not updated properly.
2. Try to group your slicers and text boxes together. This can help maintain their relative positions when switching between modes
3. Verify the Z order of your visuals. Make sure that slicers and text boxes are correctly ordered in Z order, with slicers on top of any shapes or backgrounds. If you don't know what is Z order Please refere this https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Fabric-platform/V-Order-amp-Z-Order/m-p/3750416 and https://youtu.be/HsENbP_N27c?si=un57HpThK9RxlO3V 
4. Finally test your report in different browsers to see if the issue persists.

Thank you!
