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

2 years later, and no further forward?
My users need to be able to save multiple sets of settings, e.g. their Northern Europe filter, their Southern Europe setting, etc.. These should be saved like files, so the user has the choice of which one to open next session..

Please vote up this idea for Personalized Bookmarks, which would provide the functionality you describe: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/31788253-personalized-bookmarks

RE: Save user filters on reports

Please reopen voting on this feature; the current implementation does not meet the requiremens to save personal filters

RE: Save user filters on reports

Unfortunately the feature to let end users save their personal filter still does not exist. When can we expect this?

RE: Save user filters on reports

Agree with a lot of the comments here. Our users consistently ask us for the ability to create and save their own filters. The current implementation of persistent filters does not meet this need.

RE: Save user filters on reports

My users want to be able to save a personal filter set - like QlikView - rather than having to go through and apply their filters each time they reach my report.
The persisent filters feature does not solve this problem.

RE: Save user filters on reports

Hi,
is this feature planned to be supported in "on-premise" as well?

RE: Save user filters on reports

This is not what we were looking for. It must be possible to save several different sets of filters per user and then to re-use them whenever needed.

RE: Save user filters on reports

While this addresses some of our concerns, sharing of these reports with user filters applied is still not possible I believe. When can we expect this feature?

RE: Save user filters on reports

People would like to save different filter combination, so they can look at the report from different point of views. Is it possible.
