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
Any updates on when this would be available? Similar to some comments below - our users are also asking for this functionality to save filters
RE: Save user filters on reports
Something I would like to suggest with this feature would be to maintain the ability to "one-click reset" filters. This way, if a user accidentally makes a change, they won't have to track down the specific change and reset it, they may simply return to the default filter settings.

RE: Save user filters on reports

RE: Save user filters on reports
It's a fantastic one! Or even personalized Bookmarks can be the key (and an big big big enhancements to how different audiences within one organization use Power BI)
RE: Save user filters on reports
This feature will really help to simplify our code and speed up delivery. Any update on when this functionality can be added?
RE: Save user filters on reports
Could this 'idea' be combined/merged with the 'Personalised bookmarks' issue, as they are essentially the same requirement (albeit phrased slightly differently)?

RE: Save user filters on reports
Users need to be able to create and save filters that can be applied to any report or dashboard. There needs to be a 'library' of filters. These filters should be able to be created by uploading a text or excel file too. For instance, users want to be able group all hurricane stores together and these stores may change as they track the hurricane. They don't want to have to go into PBI and manually select and deselect stores. They want to share this filter with other users to apply to other reports. PBI needs a system to manage and share filters in order to be useful for retail analytics.
RE: Save user filters on reports
Lets say you created a report showing revenue per month split up by products, each employee has about 15 product s which they are responsible for, every employee have the possibility to use a slicer on products to filter down on only the products they are responsible for selling. Each time the employees enters the report they have to filter out irrelevant products to generate their desired view.
As it is right now they will have to use the slicer every time they use the report, which is very annoying if they have to select 50 products, 20 cities etc.
