Bookmarks with synchronized filters

Hello,

 

I have the following Situation:

As you can see i got a matrix and a table. they are both already filtered. Both are quite big and cannot fit next to each other on one report (but thats exactly what i would like to do).

What i tried is to use bookmarks and a button to switch between them which worked quite good. So i overlayed the two tables, created 2 bookmarks, one showing just the matrix, the other showing just the table. i am then able to switch between them via button.

What i now need is them to save the filters i set. I give you an example for understanding:

 

i filter via matrix down to the data i want to see:

As you can see i select the 1 hour that Dennis (me) worked for a certain customer on a certain project ("Konzeption Sharepoint").

So niw i want to switch to the table keeping the filters to see what the employee commented on what he did during that hour like this:

So as you can see there are 2 comments on the selected data from the matrix.

As i said if i use the bookmarks and switch between them, the filters reset. Is there a possibility to keep the filters or can you recommend me another way to achieve what i want to do?

 

Regards,

Dennis

You might want to consider using Drillthrough filtering instead of Bookmarks. They were designed for exactly this purpose.
