Dynamic Bookmarks - Data Driven Bookmarks
I would love the ability to dynamically set the bookmark to use based on the result of a Dax expression.
In its most basic I would use this function to determine which page a user would navigate to based on a drop down. This is a very simple example to demonstrate the required feature.

RE: Dynamic Bookmarks
If we can handle Bookmarks with DAX and related table, could help us to use less bottom. so Dynamic Bookmarks is a helpful idea

I have reports with one hundreds of bookmark for the different filter scenario, a dynamic way to call them will help a lot.The bookmark navigator is a step on the right direction , what I need is to be able to drive them\configure them from a table
RE: Dynamic Bookmarks
Hi,It would be helpful to have an fx for bookmark action type, just like its given against Page Navigation.Use Case :I am using Menu to navigate between pages and also have a setup few pages that are only accessible to admins. I set up a measure that let me use the exact page name as the Page navigation condition. However, while using Page navigation, the menu stays open in the page I am navigating to. With bookmark navigation, i am able to create a bookmark with the Menu closed. But since fx is not available against bookmark navigation, I cannot use condition to hide the navigation from non admin users.If fx is available, I could create a measure with the exact text of the Bookmark I need to trigger.Thanks,Jaco Mathew
RE: Dynamic Bookmarks
Drill through currently supports page navigation by measure filters, I would like to see drill through support bookmark navigation by measure filters.It would be so much more efficient to have a measure filter being able redirect you to a bookmarked page rather than just a page. It would save creating a lot of (similar) pages and maintaining all of them. Also for navigation purposes besides the drill through will not be a mess.

I was searching for Bookmark Navigation in Dropdown accessing through GO button. I have a scenario that different products are added as bookmark about 18 products. I tried to achieve the navigation through dropdown since 18 buttons is a bad idea. But there is no option to add the measure in Bookmark action.
RE: Dynamic Bookmarks
Hi,
When you configure action for a button, currently it's possible to set :
- A dynamic destination for "Page Navigation" or Drill through
- A dynamic Web URL for "Web URL"
But for Bookmark, you have the choose the bookmark in the list of bookmarks.
I guess that maybe this is related to current architecture of a power bi report, but it could be useful if we can set a dynamic bookmark name in an action button.

RE: Dynamic Bookmarks
This seems like a no brainer to me all you would need is something simple like. RunBookmark(mybookmark) that can be placed in any dax and would then execute the bookmark.
RE: Dynamic Bookmarks
That feature will make Power Bi the GOAT
RE: Dynamic Bookmarks
The normal way of calling bookmarks by pressing a button is often not sufficient. I created a Drill-Through, on the target page the user can see a bunch of buttons which call certain bookmarks - but depending on the top level filter on the source page the users should see only the buttons that point to the correct bookmarks. I. e. Top Level Filter is Area1, Area2, Area3. If Area1 is selected the user should see only buttons on the drill-through page which point to bookmarks that refer to Area1, the buttons pointing to bookmarks Area 2 and 3 should be hidden.
