Moving pages in large report
Hello,
I have a report that is over 150 pages long. It has all of our branch stats and then it lists out each employee for the branch on a separate page and shows their stats. We have new employees a lot and I need to add pages and put them in their branch grouping of pages. I am finding that this is near impossible and incredibly annoying to do. Anytime you duplicate or add a new page it adds it to the end of the report. I then have to drag the new page over and scroll a ridiculous amount of times to get it in the right place. Is there any way around this? Seems insane to me that powerbi would not have a pages pane where you can more easily reorganize your report similar to the visual selection pane.
For anyone who stumbles upon this in the future and wants an actual answer. The quickest way ive found to do this is to click and hold on the page you are trying to move, move it slightly, then use tab / shift +tab to move amongst the pages. You can shift tab all the way back to where you want the page to go and then drop the page in there.

to click and hold on the page you are trying to moveThat's not sufficient. you also have to start moving the tab before doing the (shift) tab thing.
Hi Anonymous ,
I really like your suggestion - and it would be a massive and hassle saver - but I can't get it to work like you describe.
I've tried clicking and holding the page tab, slightly moving it (like lbendlin said), then (whilst still holding it) pressing down on Tab or Shift + Tab. It then scrolls to the right / left, but regardless how it scrolls I can only get it to move one tab at a time. Can you spot what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
Yeah that is the unfortunate part... 😕 You can still only move one tab at a time. There is not a way of moving a chunk of tabs to a certain spot as far as I know. This is just simply an alternative to having to click and drag a tab over, then scroll, then drag, all the way over to the spot you want it.

Power BI is giving you a subtle hint that you have way too many pages. Instead of having a page per employee you can have a single page and a page level filter on the filter pane (or a slicer if you must). When a user makes a filter choice that choice will be remembered and be reinstated when they open a new browser session.
Anyway - If this is important to you please consider voting for an existing idea or raising a new one at https://ideas.powerbi.com
