Generate buttons from source

[Anonymous]

I have a Power BI with 9 pages. Page 1-3, 4-6, 7-9 are belonging to 3 groups. I want to add 9 buttons to jump to each page with 3 different colours according to their groups.

It is easy to add buttons manually to jump to each page and change the button colours. But it is very time consuming to maintain them. In the future, if we change group, or adding more pages, I need to update all 9 pages manually.

Is it possible to generate button from a data source? Can we do it using programming approach? I would love to avoid the manual update page by page.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Did you try to use the Page Navigator?

The page navigator updates accordingly to the page names, positions and overall settings you define.

Hi Miguel, thanks for reply. Yes I have tried page navigator. In my case the navigator will generate 9 buttons with same colour. It doesn't allow customisation (I need to change colour or repesentating the hierarchy in other way).

I am researching on approach that allow me build a table like:

Page 1, red

Page 2, red

Page 3, red

Page 4, green

Page 5, green

Page 6, green

Page 7, blue

Page 8, blue

Page 9, blue
