Page navigation without button

I have five countries in a slicer in dropdown format.
If I click on Canada it should go to page 2 like wise for other countries also it should go to page 3,4,5
Can anyone support on this please?

 

 

  • I don't think there is any native support for page navigation by just selecting a value in a slicer. Is there a particular reason you want to use a slicer? The page navigator could work just as well if your other pages are filtered by country already:

     

    Using bookmarks/buttons like one of Ritaf1983s examples is another good option.

     

    If you don't want to use buttons you could create a drillthrough solution as well, but I would say that one of the above examples is an easier approach to take.

    Hi Varadha123 

    There’s no way to navigate between pages based on selection without using some kind of buttons.

    What you see in videos is usually guidance on how to create the "appearance" of a slicer, but in reality, you still need the functionality of page navigation.

    In terms of alternatives, if the issue is with the appearance of buttons (for example, they are taking up too much attention or space), this can be minimized with proper design.

    For example, I have "buttons" that look like this: 

     

    If you're just switching variables and the visuals are the same, you might not need to separate the pages at all. You could use field parameters that are activated by selection from a slicer instead.
