How do I create a button to perform "Reset to default"

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I have a date range slicer however, I would like to enable my user to click a button and the date range slicer will reset it to a default date range.  Is this achievable in PBI?

thanks

the procedure is correct and should work. Can you try the following? Set the slicers to your default values and then go to the bookmark and select “update”. See if it solves it.

Alternatively you can create a button from the button options in the main ribbon, create a bookmark with the default values and link the button to that bookmark. I do this all the time.

Hi all,

I tried the following way and my "reset to default" button did not reset back to the bookmark value in my visualisation. The following are my steps....

Step 1:

I set my slicer for the year range to 01/08/2017 to 31/08/2019 in the slicer.

filter my desired bookmark range

Step 2:

I created a bookmark object 

created a bookmark objectthe default object is named 3 yrs

Step 3:

I click on the "reset to default" button to assigned the bookmark object to this button.

Step 4:

I test it .. see following two steps testing

I enlarged the date rangenext, i clicks the Reset button, but the date range did not go back to the bookmark range?

The bookmarked date range is 01/08/2017 to 31/08/2019. 

Despite I clicked the button, the slicer doesn't change to the bookmarked range and the total figure remain $12.4M and not $10.7M

Have I missed out anything in my steps?

Thanks,

Please try the same what @PaulDBrown shared above.

Along with that, can you confirm that clicking the button with 'CTRL' ?

Hi,

You are right that the "Reset" button needs to be clicked together with "Ctrl" key.

Is there is a way of not using Ctrl key? I see somewhere in other reports able to do that?

You only need to do the “ctrl” + click while in the Desktop app. Once you publish it to the PBI service, it will work directly by just clicking the  button (no need for the “ctrl”)

Hello,

However you can make it with 'Clear Selections' which is at the right top of the Slicer. Or if you particularly wants in the button, you can make it with Blank button & Bookmark features in PBI
