    Buttons don't work in the dashboard. The Dashboard feature is meant to be a quick display of data, and honestly I avoid it. I only use the Dashboard feature for Power BI alerts that I can pass to Power Automate and take action.

I have the same issue, except navigating between bookmarks on the same page - showing or hiding visualizations depnding on the selection. No page navigation. 

 

edhans is this also not supported? Functionally, this is the same as choosing an item from a slicer but it looks better and is easier. Slicers work on live pages pinned to dashboards, which seems counterintuitive that dashboards are meant to be a quick view of the data. I get it for page navigation, and I also agree about dashbaords. The customer likes using them, so this is what we do.
