Navigation within one Power Bi report page

Hello, 

 

Does somebody know if it is possible to navigate within one report page? For example, if you have a custom size and want to scroll down. It wouild be great to have the option to klick on the link and to jump down. 

 

 

I would be thankful for any hint. 

 

Thanks in advance. 

 

Regards

Magomed.

    You can use Bookmarks (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-bookmarks).

     

    Few hints:

    Under View tab, select "Bookmarks Pane" and "Selection Pane". In Bookmarks Pane you can create and update your bookmarks. In Selection Pane you can select what visualization should be displayed in which bookmark.

    Make sure to create one button for each bookmark you create and link the button to a bookmark. This buttons will work as a navigation menu (this buttons should be displayed in all bookmarks).

     

    Tell me if this fulfill your purposes.

     

    Regards.

           After my research, if you do not want to use the bookmark function, I'm afraid it couldn't achieve in Power BI for now.

    For your requirement, you could post your new idea in Power BI ideas and make this feature coming sooner.

      Hi  javi0unavailabl, 

       

      Thanks for your message. I knew about bookmarks, but what I actually need is something like anchor tag in HTML. That I can define 2-3 links on the top of the page, then klick on them and jump down to the respective section. When you have bookmarks, you hide some elements in one bookmark and show them in another bookmarka, and in this case you have to see everything, but should be able to jump to the section. 

       

      Maybe you know if it possible in power bi?

       

      Thanks again for your hints. 

       

      Regards

      Magomed.

      Hi v-lili6-msft , 

       

      Ok, thanks anyway. If it is not possible, I would have to use bookmarks, I suppose. 

       

      Thanks for your time. 

       

      Best regards

      Magomed.

  • In the meantime is there a solution besides using bookmarks ?

    I am working with a custom sized page hight 3000 and would like to jump to the bottom of the page.

    Currently i am scrolling down a long way down. I would like to press a button placed on top of my report page which brings me directly to the bottom of the page without scrolling.

    And using Bookmarks : they show me always the top of a page. So bookmarks do not really help.

    Best regards,

    Rene

    Hi,

     

    Did you manage to find a solution for this. I am looking for the same thing. My page is 4000 pixels long and need to be able to go to certain spots in the page.

     

    Cheers,

    Matt
