The Bookmark Killer: Mastering When and How to Use Bookmarks in Power BI Reports
Bookmarks in Power BI Reports can often become a cumbersome challenge, especially during report handovers or upgrades. Through years of consulting, I’ve seen poor bookmark practices, with reports overloaded by hundreds of undocumented and unorganized bookmarks. This can make it difficult for the next developer or client to manage - and worst case you need to start from stratch.
This session will provide a guided tour on how and when to use bookmarks to play for its unique strengths and when other data model elements can achieve the same results but with higher level of documentation, transparency and low maintenance.
It’s about being kind to your future self—and the next person who handles your report.
