I missed a question about the bookmarks on the Power BI practice exam. This video is the only one I've seen that explained what the question was asking. Thanks for posting the video.

It came up when I needed it! Thank you!

Helpful video, thanks! I think Microsoft could/should improve their descriptions of the options in the bookmark feature to make it more intuitive. Also, they should add a way to see what the bookmark is affecting, to help with maintenance.
I used to develop on QlikView and that used to allow bookmarks to toggle using states that could be changed, i.e. IF( BM = 1, 0, 1). Am I correct in thinking you need to create two bookmarks in PBI to get the same toggle (show/hide) effect?

Weldon, brother. Keep up the good work, man.

Hi Fernan, do you have a technique or solution on how to use DAX or any other method using a button with bookmarks to set as a default the first record in a table visual in PBI.
I have a table visual with a list of names with a add_date on the first column and want to make sure that when the user opens this page in PBI the first row is selected with the first date or max(add_date) as the first record.
I love your clarity and way of explaining things on technical solutions.
Hope to hear from you soon

Thanks for the video but I have problem that i can't solve. Im trying to show 4 quartiles from different Matrix but when i filtered the Q1 Matrix the other 3 matrix also change. How can I lock the filter from each matrix? looking forward to your answer

[jacejohnson]

My bookmark also removes the "Filters on this page" in the filters pane. Is there a way to work around this?

[jacejohnson]

I'm having an issue using a Bookmark to "Clear Filters" like Date, Company, etc. The issue is that it also removes the "Filters on this page" filters in the filters pane. Any suggestions?

When I change report name and publish to service...end-users' bookmarks no longer work...how can I resolve this?

Hi friend. You're attention please:
Bard references your video (as far as I can tell) but gives credit to Guy In a cube. See below extract from bard... hallucinating?😅

This video tutorial by Guy in a Cube,  a well-known Power BI expert,  demonstrates creating bookmarks and linking them to filters and actions
