Navigation in Power BI

If you’re creating  a Power BI report that consists of multiple pages, it’s a good practice to add a navigation menu to its header. Previously, this was achieved by adding multiple buttons, assigning links to each of them that lead to the corresponding pages, and then grouping them into a single menu. Today, there is a much simpler way to achieve this, and recently it is also possible to define a landing page.

Slicer navigation

Power BI Desktop has been supporting buttons for some time which make it easy to navigate between multiple pages within a Power BI report. Until now, the button could only lead to one given destination (page) and now, by combining the button and the slicer, it is possible to provide a selection of the page with the report you want to look where you further go by clicking on the button. In this way slicers become main tool for navigation.

Buttons

Appearance of the report is no longer only important thing, but also its interactivity. Therefore, new feature – buttons are added to PowerBI. These are graphic objects intended to give you a step backward, if you drilldown within the report, to launch a report that is recorded as a Bookmark or display a table/chart that was created as a result of a pre-designed question.
