Bookmarks with filters and slicers - not working

[Cathryn]

Hi Everyone

I'm struggling trying to get my bookmarks to work appropriately and maybe it's not possible.  I'm hoping there is a solution I can use.

I have a Report with 3 pages.

Page 1 is the main page broken down by Regions with a slicer for Year.  The Grey buttons at the top each have a bookmark.  There is also a year slicer on the left.  The user chooses the year in the slicer and then clicks a region button such as De or EMEA Dist, it takes you to page 2.

Page 2 should sync the slicer and the bookmark attached to the grey region button calls the appropriate bookmark that filters the 2nd page to Region and the slicer synced with the chosen year.  

The bookmarks for page 2 uses filters, not slicers.  I'm trying to get both the slicer AND the filters to update properly.

I have both these fields check on the slicer on page 1 and page 2

Eventually I want the slicers to be invisible but for now so I can see them

Page 1 Sync Slicers: 

Page 2 Sync Slicers: 

I have tried both checking data and unchecking data

When Data is checked, the slicer doesn't work but the filters do.  With data unchecked, the filters don't change in the bookmarks but the slicer does.

So I'm wondering if this is even possible.

Does anyone see anything I'm missing?

Thank you in Advance

HI @Cathryn,

As the document mentions, the bookmark will save current filter effects. So it will restore the saved filters instead of keeping the original filter effect when you click on the bookmark. 

You can take a look at the official document to know more about these:

On YT there are vids by Patrick and Adam (Guy in a Cube) that, among others, discuss such things. You are very likely to find an answer to this puzzle there. Guy in a Cube - YouTube

Just look for the vids that treat about bookmarks.
