Dissapearing quick filters using Sheetlinks
We have deployed workbooks with 10 or so frequently-used views for analysis. Each has been set up with the appropriate quickfilters. We recently set up sheet links as well, which is fabulous, as 80% of the time the users are going through the same or similar sequence of views to 'hone in' on an insight.
This works great, except that if I have a sheet with a 'Product' quick filter, and then switch to it using a sheetlink that includes a 'Product' filter, the original quick filter disappears. It works fine the first time, but If I want to go back & use the sheet again, I have to add the quick filter back, and format it like it was before (show selection controls, include / exclude, all / relevant).
It would be nice if using the sheetlink filter didn't blow away the original quickfilters.

That sounds like a problem. We'll investigate this and see what's going on.
