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.
Super UserThere are other threads on this forum describing this, including the wraparound option.
Treat this as a design red flag. It means your report has too many tabs.
I respectfully disagree. There are legitimate circumstances when it makes sense for some companies for certain applications to have a large number of tabs. Why MS has deigned PBI so that the tabs displayed don't scroll when you're trying to move a tab is beyond me. I think it's poor by Microsoft to have a product out for so many years and not addressed this, fairly basic, issue.

Yes, I wholeheartedly agree with you, but PowerBI seems to be designed for reports with very limited pages AND limited visuals on each page (thinking of Edit Interactions here, which is very frustrating if you have layers of visuals and the on/off thingies are hidden - and why are there two, not just one toggle, hmmm?? Coding 101). Also the lack of ability to lock specific visuals so that you are continually accidentally moving visuals/shapes that SHOULD be locked.
Same with the 'Autorecovery contains some recovered files' message strip where when you turn the annoying thing off, the default is NO remove the files (said no-one, ever). It is a little wrist slap that you should clear out your Autorecover folder. But every file, every day and every time you close a file? VERY annoying. If it came up once a day I may consider checking and clearing my auto recover folder like a good little girl, but 20 times a day? Go away.
Sorry, PBI brings out the Karen in me 😂- lbendlin

There is now at least some reprieve - you can right click on a tab and use the Move menu
