Visual level filter is ignored on Power BI Service
Hi,
It looks like I've found what was the problem. I have created selection of bookmarks. And when I created a bookmark for this particular page with this visual, I hadn't had the filter applied yet. So I applied the filter one more time how I want the visual to be and then created a bookmark. Now for all report viewers the filter is applied when they press on bookmark button.
I'm still quite new in Power BI so I didn't know that filters affect also the bookmarks.
Thank you for the help anyway!

Community SupportHi Anonymous,
Based on my test, I cannot reproduce your issue here by using the Power BI desktop version 2.65.5313.841 64-bit (December 2018). Did you apply filter after editing the visual level filter?

Hi v-frfei-msft,
I have a version 2.65.5313.621 64-bit (December 2018) and yes, I applied the filter after editing the visual level filter - pressed enter and the Apply filter button became grey/unactive. See screenshots below how it is for me. First is what I see on the Desktop and the second one what I see on the Service. Filter - Top 10 Case Categories.

EdgarsWhat I've noticed is that every time I'm publishing a new version of the report, field "Reset to default" becomes active and yellow. When I press it then everything is correct because then report shows author's default view of the report.
It is the same for other report viewers. They have to press this button every time they enter this report to "activate" that particular filter.
In addition to the fact that filter is being ignored, sometimes the sorting is also ignored on that visual. In the web it sometimes is sorted by the name instead of the amount.

Hi there
Yes that is currently by design so that every person can have their own view.
When a person first views the report they will have the author's default state.
You can also change this setting if you do not want it to be applied in your PBIX under options then put in the tick under Persistent Filters
