Page Navigation automatically

[Shreeram04]

Hi All,

My requirement is to navigate between pages in the powerbi like a slide show based on some time interval like 5 sec,10 sec etc. How can I achieve this one in Power Bi Desktop or Power Bi Service?

Currelty I am using the Power Bi Window application,but in the application they mentioned, "The app provides access to your important business information. Note: After December 31, 2023, Microsoft will no longer provide updates or fixes to this app. Use PowerBI.com instead."

But in power bi service i am unable to find solution like this presentation mode.

Please help me find solution

Thanks in advance.

You ask a good question, and it's surprisingly difficult to solve in the Power BI ecosystem.

As you've correctly stated, the Power BI viewer app is being deprecated in December 2023, so that's really a no-go to continue using going forward.

Your main two options, then, are really to either:

• Code your own solution, or
• Using a 3rd party tool.

If you code your own solution, all I can say is goodluck -  because it is quite difficult. You'll have to learn the Power BI Javascript SDK.

If you use a 3rd party tool, you have a few different options to try. You can try out some of the Chrome extensions that attempt this, but they are all either totally broken, extremely buggy, or really, really barebones and not robust enough for many people. I know because I used to maintain one of my own a few years ago, but it was always prone to breaking since it was basically an autoclicker.

However, I have built a custom cross-platform desktop app for this called Displagent, it's built exclusively for Power BI. It allows you to build highly customizable slideshows for your Power BI reports, called Report Slideshows. You can choose certain tabs and/or report bookmarks to use, order them, give them each a custom display duration (in seconds), and you can choose a refresh interval to automatically update your visuals and keep everything up to date. My users really like this feature a lot, plus it has Autolaunch on machine startup and automatic updates.

If you're interested, come check out the site or just message me with questions. Even if you don't use my app, happy to offer any assistance that I can.

Hi @Shreeram04 

You can do slide show from PBI service. there is no option available.

But you can embed live Power Bi report to Power point and from power point you can do the slideshow.

here is the link for guidance.

Hi @Uzi2019 ,

Thanks for your reply. Is there any other option without using PowerPoint?.Because the user wants it to be displayed on TV. It will play automatically.

And is there any possibility of moving the presentation mode from Windows application to service or desktop after December 31, 2023?
