However, there are samples that you get to benefit from bookmark with data, such as the scenario for clear all slicers or focusing on a specific part of the data for storytelling using bookmarks. In my example report here, I get more benefit from using bookmarks without data. Once I do this for the two bookmarks in my report, I can now easily switch between the two types of charts (two bookmarks) without losing the selection of values in the slicer bookmark without data can be useful for visual or page navigations but not to change the values of the slicers To remove the Data from the bookmark, all you need to do is click on the … besides the bookmark’s name and uncheck the data. If you want the bookmark to only toggle visualization, change page navigations, etc., and you want the current selection of slicers not to get back to default (or any state that you created a bookmark for it), you need a bookmark without data.

Let’s see what bookmark without data means, then. In our sample report in this article, It is not good to have it bookmark with data because this means every time I change the chart type (change the bookmark), I have to re-select values in the slicers. The bookmark with data means that the selection of slicers will be saved as the page’s status, and the bookmark always gets you back to that status. You can click on the … besides the bookmark and see that the Data is by default selected.

I have used this method once to explain a trick about how to clear all slicers in the Power BI report using a bookmark.Ĭlear All Slicers in Power BI A Bookmark Story This means whenever you use that bookmark, no matter what you selected in the slicer, the bookmark gets you back to the entire period. How did this happen? At the time of creating the bookmark, the date slicer’s value was the entire period. If I click on a button (which triggers a bookmark) to change the chart type to bar chart, then the selection of dates changes back to the entire period choosing the bookmark removes the date’s filter If I select a range of dates in the slicer, the data gets filtered the data is filtered by the order date Let’s see that through our sample report If you don’t select anything on the date slicer and then create the bookmark, then the bookmark always shows you the unfiltered data. For example, if you select the period of 2008 in the order date slicer and then create the bookmark, the bookmark will always get you to that period. That means when you create the bookmark, the selection of data values at that time will be saved as part of the bookmark.

Bookmark with Dataīookmarks, by default, include data. When the user clicks on the column chart, they will see the column chart, and when they click on the bar chart will see the bar chart. Then I have two buttons that their action is set to these bookmarks respectively. One is for when the bar chart is hidden, and the other one is when the column chart is hidden. I have two charts overlayed over each other (column chart and bar chart) and two bookmarks created. Bookmarks and Buttons: Making Power BI Charts Even More Interactive
