Create button to switch report tabs
Talvien Sounds like Mykhael's report. From what I recall, this isn't an actual slicer that can navigate page to page. I think it is a trick he uses to help guide the user to know where they are when using the publish to web feature where you can't see the tabs. So as you click on the tabs the menu changes to reflect the same name as the tab.
Iam new to power bi. i have this doubt in doing buttons.
How to create button for months? For example, iam going to create two button as NEXT and PREVIOUS . In next button , Default month should be chart of january 2018 . if i click that next button again, it has to show chart of feb 2018 only not any other month and vice versa for all months. Now i have April 2018 chart in display , if i click previous it has to show march 2018 only not feb or jan.
In this requirement, iam able to do for two months jan and feb, but i need this to happen for all the months .
I believe there are many approaches which may be taken. Here are a few.
You could make a separate tab for each month, using date filters at page level, then either use buttons and bookmarks on each tab which skip to the next tab, or just export the report as a powerpoint presentation.
Another, more forward compatible approach would be to have one tab for each report layout then use the side filter-pane, make and when you view the report through the Power BI service you can use the side filter pane (even in full-screen view) and select each month as you need it to be displayed, instead of click a next button.
