Power BI Apps

I am not certain if this is a Power BI Apps question that was raised before. Is there a way that you can add another Section under an existing Section when adding your Content? As far as I know you ...

Hi JohannSA 

 

Short answer: ❌ No, this is not possible today.

Details (brief):

  • Power BI Apps support only one level of Sections.

  • You cannot create sub-sections / nested hierarchy under an existing section.

  • Sections → Reports/Dashboards only (flat structure).

Workarounds:

  • Use naming conventions (e.g. 2026 – Financial Reporting)

  • Split content into multiple apps

  • Use links to reports/pages instead of nesting

Feature request:

  • ✅ This is a known limitation

  • Microsoft accepts requests via Power BI Ideas

  • Nested sections / folders in Apps is a commonly requested feature

Bottom line:
Nested sections (like Year → Category → Report) are not supported in Power BI Apps as of now.
