The most common request from my users is for Power BI to save the filters and settings that a user applies on a report. Currently they need to re-apply everytime they open it.

Hey everyone, the wait is finally over. For those who follow our blog closely, we shipped this feature in the service earlier this month: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-persistent-filters-in-the-service/ Thanks again for all the support!

RE: Save user filters on reports

So often users are responsible for a territory or a market and have to set the slicers/filters every single time they go into the dashboard. This is a waste of time, inefficient, unproductive and annoying to users. A feature like this - to bookmark settings or something similar that saves a ton of time - is really, really important.

RE: Save user filters on reports

Could you please enable users to save different context filters so they just need to click on the context filters and all the filters are applied to the report.
They can also jump from a context to another.
Thanks

RE: Save user filters on reports

This is the important feature that we need to have. Saving the filter with some name so that we can use that when we login to next time. Is this update is already availble?

RE: Save user filters on reports

For me this would mean that a specialty filters their own specialty once for example and the next time PowerBI ( Power BI report server) opens the dashboard with the last filter off their own specialty.
