Menu's button is not working
I'm working in a menu with buttons. I select Format -> Navigation . Then I select the dahsboard page where I want to go and when I try if it functions nothing happen.
If it still does not work, try testing it in Reading View or after publishing to the Power BI Service.
You can also try the following:
- Remove the button and create a new one from scratch
- Check whether another visual or transparent shape is covering the button
- Make sure the page is not a Tooltip page
- Try assigning Bookmark navigation instead of Page navigation to test it
- Save, close, and reopen Microsoft Power BI Desktop
- Update Power BI Desktop to the latest version
- Test the same button in a completely new PBIX file
Sometimes the issue is related to a corrupted visual or page rather than the navigation settings themselves.

If you're in desktop or editing mode in the serivce, you must do a ctrl + click.

In Power BI Desktop, navigation buttons usually work with CTRL + Click while you are in edit mode. Also, make sure that Action is turned on, Page Navigation is selected, and the target page is not hidden.
Hi Ilgar
I chequed it all. Action was turned on. Page Navigation was selected. The target page was hidden, but I changed and it is not hidden anymore and still have the same problem. I have the maintenance of a dashboard and it is my first in PBI. If you have any other tip to give I will appreciatte it.
