Not able to see the default fill of a button

[AliceW]

Hello fellow users,

I am discovering buttons and so far I love them. I implemented two in order to create something similar to what's below.

Basically, you click one the 'Demography' button and it shows a bookmarked version of the tab; you click on the 'Area' button and it shows another bookmarked version of the tab.

While the switch between the views works fine, I can't get the 'selected' button to turn blue (its 'On Press' Fill). It stays its 'Default State' fill.

The 'Hover' fill works.

Big thanks,

Alice

Hi @AliceW  

I think you have got the simplest solution currently by creating two buttons for each value. However, I found another solution which needs a few more steps as shown below:

1. Create a disconnected table Buttons containing all buttons' text and create an index column.

2. Create a measure to record which button is selected. I select Button A by default.

selected button = SELECTEDVALUE(Buttons[Index],1)

3. Add a slicer and put Index column in it.

4. Insert two blank buttons. For Button A, use conditional formatting to determine the color in default state. Apply the same steps to Button B and reverse the color rules for it.

5. Now, add bookmarks as you like. For example, I create Bookmark 1 for Button A and Bookmark 2 for Button B. Remember to select 1 in the slicer and hide the slicer before adding Bookmark 1. Select 2 and hide the slicer before adding Bookmark 2.

Finally, turn on Action for both buttons with related bookmark. 

I found the solution from this link where you may get more ideas:

I figured something out: I create TWO buttons for each value. One will have the blue default, and another one the white. The bookmarks will hide one blue and one white.

Does anybody have a different solution?
