Alternative to sharing a Power BI Personal Bookmark

[@gidgetgillette1553]

Microsoft has of course already changed how this works. This was such a great workaround and my end users loved it. Our company is still in the process of implementing teams so a lot of people aren’t used to using it in this way yet. I’m sure I can dissect the url and get it to work but my end users won’t do that or even have any idea how to do that.

Insane amazing, Adam. Thanks for sharing. I used to tag colleagues through comments, as this is sharing the perspective and therefore also the opened bookmark when leaving the comment. That way one can directly start a conversation on it. It would be really beneficial if one could print out all personal/report bookmarks and also exporting them to PowerPoint directly. What do you think?

[@travisryan4711]

One additional component that might be helpful for recipients of the link is to add a personal bookmark on the destination page. I believe that the link recipient can also select "make default view". This will allow the end-user to return to this report with the filters that you applied.

[@bryankaiser1754]

Outstanding video, clear and concise. Does the "Chat in Teams" personal bookmark link also retain any changes that were made using the "Personalize this Visual" feature? We have found that the direct URL and chat URL do not retain these changes.

[@RB26_Aces]

I was just wondering that this week too. First thing that came to thought for me was to create the personal bookmark for myself, then open Commenting, and tag the users needed while the same bookmark was active on my screen. That way I’d be creating the bookmark in the Commenting as well. But I definitely like your trick about grabbing the URL from Share in Teams link. You can do some other tricks with that URL then. Good stuff!

[@Yannickruben]

Any workaround for this in the meanwhile, without opening it in Teams directly?

[@HKRC-qc4hk]

Nicely done and as always explained very well. Thank you. This is one of the things that I don't like about Power BI - way way too may workarounds & not enough straight up solutions.

[@GuyInACube]

Appreciate the kind word! There are definitely many ways to do something in Power BI. In that sense, it doesn't constrict you either.

[@subanark]

Does this bookmark have an expiration date?

[@GuyInACube]

That is a great question. Gonna be honest. I don't know. I will try and find out though.

[@noahhadro8213]

@@GuyInACube I would also like to know if this has an expiration date. @artemus Harper..... GREAT QUESTION. Thanks Guy in a Cube for this great tip.

[@jefffischer7734]

After several days of testing the bookmark link eventually stopped working but the link to the tab was available. Not sure if others had the same issue

[@EricHartwigExcelConsulting]

I had to pick my jaw up off the floor when I saw this video, but that is a good thing because I have been trying to figure out how to do this for months now! Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@kevinkangdinata9498]

Could you do an alternative with this guide? it no longer works. pleaseee

[@aamoody81]

Any advice on how enable the Chat in Teams button?

[@dianedeleeuw6432]

The URL for the Teams link has changed, and now this option doesn't work anymore.. :( Can someone advise?

[@heniekheniek1781]

exactly :(

[@stevengrellner1716]

This is awesome! Just shared this with an end user and it is working great for them

OMG, this is so handy! 😱 Thank you Adam! 👏🏻

[@ynwtint]

That is amazing. How it is different from comment with bookmark?

[@LimaMTB]

I don't think this works anymore :( Now I get a teams url... Any new ideas?

[@DanielADamico]

This is a great one! Thanks for sharing!!

[@GuyInACube]

Appreciate that! Thanks for watching 👊

[@CarlosAVazq]

Great video! Helped mi a lot, thanks!!

[@elhassanaitelhadj8796]

Thank you for sharing this great trick, i'm a new member of the community 😉

[@Phalstar98]

Looks like it doesn't work now and wants to force you to open in teams 🥺

[@balaji_906]

Teams copy paste link feature no longer works in browser. Instead it is redirecting it to Teams app

[@premcst]

Wow !! Thanks a lot for sharing !!

[@GuyInACube]

Most welcome 👊

[@MurtajaBohra]

Guy in a cube, thanks for sharing, quick question: how it is different from sharing the reporting with "Include my changes" checked?

[@MurtajaBohra]

Guess, you can now share bookmarks by eliminating step above.

[@Bharath_PBI]

Way workarounds.. Thank you 👍

[@richardappleton4345]

Hi, is there any update on how to navigate this without Teams? Does anyone know another way?

[@debasreetripathy5962]

❤️it's really a cakewalk now.Good trick😋

[@saiprasad4377]

Q : When we are creating bookmarks it cannot be seen in dashboard but y we are creating it just for report only Q : can you please tell me how can we drill down the visual in dashboard

[@kevarnold]

My users were just asking about this yesterday!! Thanks for the answer. #Mindreader

[@GuyInACube]

I love when that happens 👊

[@NaiduAvinash]

now chat in teams not working properly. It is going teams

[@niravdesai2399]

Super amazing 🤘🏻

[@ncbshiva]

Wow this is amazing

[@GuyInACube]

YES! I was blown away by it. 👊

[@muthusamy_pandurangan]

Wow great insight.

[@GuyInACube]

Thanks Muthusamy! 👊

[@marianamarques8562]

Awesome!!!

[@GuyInACube]

Appreciate that Mariana! 👊

[@jordankline6970]

Wonder how long until Microsoft makes this not work

[@sgmarius]

Couple of months. Instead of an app.powerbi URL, now the report's URL gets included and encoded in a Team URL...

[@tomm6269]

This is Bananas... LOL I can't wait till Microsoft fixes this security flaw... Just kidding... Great 2 minute share Adam. As always you and Patrick are fantastic...

[@BP63056]

It looks like Microsoft has made a change to the way this works. Now when you share the link from from "Chat in Teams:" it has the report open up inside of Teams. Anyone found a way around this?

[@Praaxx]

Yes, the new behavior is not as ideal as what Adam shows in the video. You can click "Open in web client" so it will stay in the browser but I wish it worked as shown.

[@NaiduAvinash]

@@Praaxx : no it is not working :(
