How to Disable the Filter Pane in Power BI Reports

When working with embedded Power BI reports, one of the common issues developers face is having the filter pane visible and expanded by default upon navigating between pages. This can not only clutter the user interface but also become frustrating, especially when there are no filters applied. In this guide, we will explore the problem and how to solve it effectively, ensuring a smoother experience for users interacting with your reports.

Understanding the Problem

After successfully embedding a Power BI report, you may notice that every time you switch between pages, the filter pane reappears and is expanded, even if there are no filters available. This can detract from the overall user experience and make the report harder to navigate. Your aim is to have this pane collapsed by default or not visible at all.

Current Attempts

In trying to resolve the issue, you might have tried several approaches, including:

Setting the filter pane to be collapsed in Power BI Desktop.

Utilizing the "Hide for Viewers" option in the report settings.

Implementing the embed configuration options incorrectly.

Despite these efforts, the filter pane continues to be a nuisance, and solutions may seem elusive.

The Solution: Changing the Navigation Method

After some troubleshooting and investigation, the core of the solution lies in the navigation method used within your embedded report. If you were utilizing Bookmarks to navigate between pages, it’s time to switch gears. Here's a straightforward approach to addressing the problem effectively:

Step-by-Step Guide

Identify the Navigation Method:

Check the current method of page navigation within your report. It’s likely set to Bookmarks, which can lead to the persistent appearance of the filter pane.

Change to Page Navigation:

By switching the navigation method from Bookmarks to Page Navigation, you can prevent the filter pane from appearing upon each page transition. This small change can save you headaches and enhance the user experience considerably.

Verification:

Ensure that you’ve made this change across your entire report setup. Navigate through various pages to confirm that the filter pane does not pop up unexpectedly.

Update Your Embed Configuration:

Make sure your embed configuration looks something like this:

Embed Tag Adjustment:

Additionally, ensure that your embed HTML includes the tag: powerbi-settings-filter-pane-enabled="false" in the div where the report will appear. This can further assist in managing the visibility of the filter pane.

Conclusion

It can be frustrating to feel like you’re running into walls when navigating configurations in Power BI. However, by understanding and applying the right navigation method, you can effectively manage the display of the filter pane. Switching from Bookmarks to Page Navigation not only solves this common issue but will undoubtedly improve the overall experience of users interacting with your embedded reports. If you’ve faced the same problem, give this method a try—you may find the solution easier than you anticipated!

Happy embedding!
