I'm trying to set up my dashboard with interactive buttons. For this, I've created four toggle-style buttons - by following an youtube tutorial and using 'Bookmark Navigator Button'. The problem is: when I activate Button 1 and then activate Button 2, Button 1 remains active. What I want is that when I click on Button 2, all the others get deactivated. Is there a way to achieve this in Power BI?
To achieve mutually exclusive buttons (where activating one deactivates the others), you can avoid using the Bookmark Navigator and instead set up manual buttons with custom bookmarks.
Create separate visual states for each button (for example showing different visuals or layouts).
Then, using the Bookmarks Pane, create a bookmark for each button state (Button1_View, Button2_View, etc.). While creating each bookmark, make sure that Selection, Display, and Current Page options are checked, and uncheck Data unless you want slicer states to change as well. Use the Selection Pane to control which visuals and which button versions are shown in each state.
Next, insert manual buttons via Insert > Buttons > Blank.
For each button, enable the Action, set it to Bookmark, and link it to the appropriate bookmark.
To visually simulate an active/inactive toggle, create two versions of each button (e.g., Button1_Active and Button1_Inactive) and use the Selection Pane to show the active version only in its corresponding bookmark. So in Button1_View, you show Button1_Active and hide Button1_Inactive, while doing the reverse for all other buttons. Repeat this for every button.
