Moving pages in large report
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.
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.
Ah sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant I can only move the selected tab one tab to the left (or right) at a time. Rather than move it to the left or right of multiple tabs, if that makes sense? ie. I can't get it to drag and drop like it sounds you're able to do.
I see what you are saying now. It is working just fine for me though, I'm not sure how else to describe it. You are clicking and dragging the page right? Then as you are still dragging, pressing tab to go forward or shift tab to go backwards in the pages until you find your spot. Then drag your page to the spot you want and drop it in.
Are you on an older version of PBI?
I've got it working now... and Wow - what a time saver! Thanks so much for posting this tip. I have searched high and low on the internet and haven't found any other mention of this anywhere.
