PBI Desktop table results navigation by page - Matrix visual formatting

Hi all,

I have created a report that allows the user to view results in a table either all at once or by 5 rows at a time when selecting a page number. The total pages to display are dynamic and change when filters are selected based on the total rows returned. 

I am using the "Filter" visual as a horizontal visual to navigate through the pages. This works correctly.

I have tried to use the "Matrix " table to navigate through the pages (as this has more options to style).

I would like the "Matrix " table to show only the total available pages (as does the "Filter" visual)

Each time I clear all filters, and re-select filters, the matrix visual then shows all page numbers (as my visual level filter on the matrix is cleared )

 

Is it possible to make the "Matrix" table behave as described and only show the available page numbers when a user filters? 

 

Sample here:  PBI Sample File

Thanks to @GilbertQ  for this inspiration outlined below that uses bookmarks to navigate.

Hi @MariaP , 

I hope that im understanding you correctly but adding a visual level filter on the Matrix will allow you to remove the pages not applicable when you apply slicer selections:

Hi @tex628 ,

 

Thank you for your reply. I realised my error as I had already tried the above and thought it did not work. I forgot to update my "Clear All Selections" bookmark when I added the "Matrix" visual to navigate. I have done this now and it is working!

 

Your response helped find my bug 🙂

 

Cheers,

Maria
