Text Filter visual acting odd

So, we have been using this visual for quite some time. Recently, it has started acting odd. When a user types something into the box and hits ENTER, it will filter as it should, but then the report itself will immediately revert to default (removing the filter).  If the user simply types in his search term again and hits ENTER, it will stick and behave normally.  Everytime they go into the report, this happens. If they refresh the report, this will happen as well.  Any thoughts?

 

Thanks.

Eric

Hi , @esuing 

I test in my side and search , the document said that "Sticky state/Persistent filters are not guaranteed to work when the user closes the browser/refreshes the page, so this behavior is by design".

In my tests, the Text filter slicer was indeed reset when we exited the report, then re-entered the report and refreshed the page.

If you still have reset problems during use, you can check whether the report has Automatic page refresh.

For more information, you can refer to :
Automatic page refresh in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

 

Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!
