Is there a way to use a "dummy" pbix for the sake of navigation ?

Hi,

 

  From what I know, if there is a .pbix called "TEST" and has pages "TEST1", "TEST2", etc it will appear in the workspace app as

 

TEST

   TEST1

   TEST2

 

   Is there a way to have TEST1 be a .pbix and TEST2 to be it's own .pbix and combine them in such as way as they appear as above ?

Hi, @EaglesTony 

I am glad to help you.

 

According to you description, you can create two PBIX files, TEST1 and TEST2, and publish them both to the same workspace:

Click Create App, select Add a new section for Add content, and then you can change the navigation name:

Click Add content again to add TEST1 and TEST2, and then drag them to the section you just added:

hi @EaglesTony ,

 

since every report would have to have atleast one page, I think it is possible. if you create a section (Test) and have two reports ( test1 and test2) within it. However, one more  level would be visible under both test 1 and test 2 i.e. "page 1" which maybe a blank page.  uncertain that this meets your output requirements though. 

Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution, this will help others!
If my response(s) assisted you in any way, don't forget to drop me a Kudos 🙂
Kind Regards,
Avinash
