Persistent Filters are TOO persistent
- 8 years ago
Microsoft rolled out a fix for me this month that may work for others with this issue. If you go to the reports page and click the gear icon for the report you will now see a toggle switch to disable retained filters. Took a while but I am now able to disable these filters on satelite reports. Thanks Microsoft!
Today when I go to the main report page, they are disabled but any pages I have pulled out from the original and saved as a stand alone continue to persist filters. They use the same dataset.
Spoke with Microsoft and it has been pushed up to the product team. So very frustrating trying to convey the issue when they only listen to the part they want to hear.
Any help would be appreciated while I wait to hear back from them.
I am able to reproduce this issue with other data models as well.
To reproduce, create a dataset without disabling the feature (as all of my datasets pre date the feature and Microsoft turned it on by default in all of them.), publish to the service, and break several report pages into a new report with the save as feature. Next go to the dataset and disable the feature and republish. This disables the feature in the original report from the dataset but in ALL of the satellite reports pulled from the same dataset it is still enabled.
Please note that I cannot afford the time investment of recreating every report that was pulled from a larger dataset that was published to the service. The main dataset has about 25 satellite reports with other shared datasets having a minimum of 3 satellite reports.
