Link to another page within the same report

[craiglb]

I have a report containing 40 pages so navigation is a key element of the design.

I want to click an image to display a bookmark containing a scrollable list of all the pages in the report, which the user can then click & be taken to the page they selected.

I can create a text box with the list & get the bookmark part to work however it's the clickable links that are the issue........

Is there a way to use the link feature in a text box to route to another page within the same Power BI report or is there a better way to achieve this ??

Any ideas / hints / tips / suggestions ??

@craiglb ,

Do you want to show bookmark navigation or page navigation?

Thanks,

Page navigation hidden in a bookmark

@craiglb ,

You can try using button for navigate to different pages.

Thanks,

Unfortunately a button will not work as a single button does not allow navigation to multiple pages & bookmark navigation is not scrollable. 

In my design I have 40 pages & from any page the user needs to be able to navigate to any other (page 1 to 10 then 30 then back to 2, etc.) without clicking on every page. One click to get to any of the 40 pages is the wish.

Did you find the solution to this?

You could create a bookmark for each page, group them together called Page Navigation or something like that. Then go to insert, buttons, navigator as below:

If you go to the grid layout part, change it to grid, set the number of columns to 1 and put the number of rows as how many items you want per page and then I believe you get the scrollable page navigation you are after:

I would say they don't even need to create the bookmarks. They can just use the Page Navigator option from the dropdown shown in your screenshot. This can then be formatted in the same way as the bookmarks navigator and you can show and hide pages listed as required using the format pane. 

Not as elegant as a dropdown but you can make them display in a grid format and you can then set the visual to the same height as each row with only one column to give the appearance of a scrollable list on the report. 
Please see very basic screen shot example below
