In this blog, you will gain an understanding of the Page Navigator feature in Power BI.
The Microsoft Power BI team released the Page Navigator feature in the November 2021 updates. With this feature, you can easily navigate from one page to another within the report.
When you select the Page Navigator option, page navigation buttons with automatically generated page names will be created for you.
Important Note :
The page navigator is automatically in-sync with your report pages, meaning:
- Titles of the buttons match the page display names.
- Ordering of the buttons match the order of your report pages.
- The selected button is the current page.
- As you add or remove pages in your report, the navigator will automatically update.
- As you rename pages, the titles of the buttons will automatically update.
Let’s get started-
- Add two three page in your report
- Go to Insert tab > Buttons > Navigator > Click on Page navigator
Note: For every page you have to follow the same steps to enable page navigator, or else you can copy paste from one page to other.
