Adding Bookmarks in Power BI
To add bookmarks in Power BI, follow these steps:
- Open your Power BI report in Power BI Desktop.
- Select the element or combination of elements (charts, visuals, filters, etc.) that you want to bookmark.
- In the ‘Visualizations’ pane, click on the ‘Bookmarks’ button to open the bookmarks pane.
- Click on the ‘Add’ button in the bookmarks pane to create a new bookmark.
- Provide a name for the bookmark and click ‘OK’.
- Now, make any desired changes to the visualizations, such as applying filters, changing colors, or adjusting the layout.
- Once you are satisfied with the changes, go back to the bookmarks pane and click on the ‘Add’ button again to create another bookmark.
- Repeat the process for different combinations of visualizations and save them as separate bookmarks.
Now, you can use these bookmarks to quickly navigate between different views of your report.
Example:
Let’s say you have a Power BI report with multiple dashboards:
- Dashboard 1: Overall Sales
- Dashboard 2: Sales by Region
- Dashboard 3: Sales by Product Category
You can create bookmarks for each of these dashboards to easily switch between them.
For example, you can create a bookmark named ‘Overall Sales’ that shows the total sales for all regions and product categories. Then, create another bookmark named ‘Sales by Region’ that filters the report to show sales data for a specific region.
To switch between these bookmarks, simply click on the respective bookmark in the bookmarks pane.
