Need help with cross report navigation

[dbritoprime]

Hello guys,

Just for a quick overview, we are setting a set of new BI panels for the company. There will be around 20 different sectors and we thought about having a Home Screen that would lead to all these different reports.

We can't use a single .pbix file, there's no way the team would manage to work in the same file with over 100 pages, so we need this home screen to have a cross report navigation. 

We tried to use URLs, but this causes the browser to always open a new tab, we then tried to set drill through buttons to cross reports, but we didn't manage to make this work properly. 

Can anyone give us any help with this? 

A way to open this URL in the same tab or how to make the cross report drill through with buttons work properly

thank you

Hi,
Refreshing this therad just to check if there was any better solution implemented in Power BI to solve cross report connection?

@dbritoprime , URL will open in a new window. I doubt there is option give to open it same window.

what is the issue with cross-report drill-through? Hope dataset is the same, and the properties, shown below are taken care off

The problem with drill-through is that we couldn't find a way that the button will always have the same value and it's just clicking in it. We managed to work by having a table where the user clicks in the sector name and then the button works. 

We wanted a page where every button is also the sector icon, the user clicks on the icon and goes to the report. Just like if it was an app home screen

Hi @dbritoprime ,

Could publish all these reports in a same workspace and create an app for them be a workaround? As far as I know, if you use button to naviagte to the new page, it doesn't support cross-report.
