Persistent Filters are TOO persistent
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!
Hi kcantor,
It seems as long as there is at least one custom visual anywhere in the pbix we don't get the slicers being saved in their previous state and the Reset to Default button never gets highlighted for these pbix reports.
I am going to toss one in and see if it will work. Has to be easier than recreating all of those reports.
Unfortunatley, this does not solve the problem. I will disable the retaining filters in the original report, which I could do in the data model but does not fix the satelite reports. Even if I navigate to the reports and add a custom visual there, it still tries to retain filters.
I tried three different custom visuals. Is there one in particular it refuses to work with?
Hi kcantor,
Sorry to hear it's not working. I just checked the pbix files that this works for one has a custom visual called 'Attribute Slicer'.
I just tested a pbix file in development at the moment and I added a mapbox visual which has just altered the functionality of that with filters and it no longer doesn't have persistent filters. A f5 simply resets all the paramters back to original settings.
Are you testing this by using save as to create a new report from the original report that was published? My problem stems from the fact that I have a Mothership report with several reports pulled out from that and saved as Satelite reports that are either smaller views or slightly customized views. The Mothership report is able to have the persistent filters removed. It is the Satelite reports that refuse. When I add the custom visual to the Mothership, it does not propegate down to the Satelite report nor does it disable the filter retention.
