Removing the Filter Pane Visibility Toggle for Bookmarks - with Mathias Thierbach

A common pain point for model authors using bookmarks is that the bookmark toggles the open/closed visibility status of the Filters pane at the time of the bookmark creation. This occurs each time the bookmark is activated. This video shows how to use PBI-Tools to easily edit the bookmark code in the PBIX file, and remove the link between the bookmark and the filter pane visibility with ease! Tune in to learn more. 😎

GUEST BIO πŸ‘€

In 2015, after having spent over ten years as a Software Developer and Architect with Microsoft technologies, Mathias Thierbach moved into the Microsoft BI space. He soon landed on Power BI, but also realized quickly that the development and engineering tools and practices were nothing like the ones well established in software development. This is how pbi-tools started as a project, filling this gap in tooling. Today, leading a growing data management team at YouGov, he experiences the benefits of those efforts every day. Having open sourced the project in fall of 2021, Mathias spends a lot of his free time bringing those practices to the wider Power BI community now.
