HI @Saikumar_dasari,

Current power bi seem like not support do further customize to add sub tabs at the detail button levels. Perhaps you can submit ideas for add support for your requirement.

Hi @Saikumar_dasari,

I mean the power bi desktop navigation panel does not support further customize. If you are working with design in power bi app, it allow you to do some operations to achieve similar sub tab effects.

Designing custom navigation for Power BI apps is now available | Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI

Hi @Saikumar_dasari ,

You could build a Canvas App in Power Apps. You could create your custom navigation using Power Apps control and show the Power BI report next to it on the remaining space of the canvas app.

Steps included:

From Power BI web-app, open the report and create the embed link for webiste or portal.
In Power Apps, create a blank canvas app for tablet layout and add a Power BI tile control (tile is also correct for reports, not only for dashboard tiles).
Set the property AllowNewAPI of the Power BI tile control to true
Paste the embed URL between the quotation marks of the TileUrl property of the Power BI tile control.
If you want to turn off the built-in Power BI page navigation so that you control page navigation only using your Power App custom navigation, then append to the embed URL &navContentPaneEnabled=false
To navigate to a specific report page, append to the embed URL &pageName=ReportSectionxxxxxxxxxxx
The pageName is not the display name of the page that the user sees in the Power BI report but the section (page) ID that Power BI uses in the URL. That means, to build your Power Apps navigation you need to open all report pages inte Power BI web-app and get the page names from the URLs.
Now you can build your custom navigation in Power Apps and if the user clicks on a report page link of your custom navigation then your Power App needs to update the TileUrl property of the Power BI tile control with the corresponsing pageName value and the the Power BI tile control will show the selected report page.
