  • Hi DragonCIC ,

     

    If you would like to navigate between different reports(Report pages are in different reports), you may try this solution.

    1 Create a report page used to navigate users and insert two buttons on it

     

    2 Set the Action Type of these buttons as Web URL

     

    3 Get link of the reports and use them as the Web URL value of the buttons on navigator report page

     

    4 Similarly, add a Back button on Report A or Report B, then take the link of the navigator report as the Web URL value of it

     

    Then, click on these buttons will bring report users to related reports. It’s important that you need make sure report users will have access permission to target reports.

     

    If you would like to navigate between different report page(Pages are in the same report), you may consider Page Navigator feature. For more details about Page Navigator, you could refer to Create page and bookmark navigators - Power BI | Microsoft Docs.

      I have two Power BI reports:  1) Overseas to US and 2) US to Overseas.  These reports display sample sizes based on the years selected within each.  There is no crossover between the reports.  I would like to have a starting point/landing page where a public user can select one or the other report view the report, and have a method to return to the landing page in case they want to look at the other report.

      The app design is for internal users or individuals that I grant access to, yes?  Here is a little more information on what I am trying to do... I have two reports: 1) Overseas Visitors to the US and 2) US to Overseas.  I would like a single starting point that looks like what you have done but is accessible by the public when a link is clicked on at my client's site.  I had thought about using a cross report setup but as far as I can see you can only link two reports together.  If it cannot be done at this point with cross report filtering or using the method you outlined in your You Tube video I will just have to let my client know that.

    My initial request got cut off for some reason.  I have two reports: 1) Overseas to US and US to Overseas.  Both reports show sample sizes for various questions answered for our databases for each.  What I would really like to be able to do is have a publicly accessible landing/start page that the user can pick one or the other report to view, and then be able to return (or click back) to the landing/start page and be able to select the other report.  No data is being passed from the landing/start page to the reporting page(s).  I looked at cross report filtering, but that seems to only work from a summary datapoint to a more detailed report and you can only have one report you can link to.  If that cannot be done at the current time with Power BI so be it.  Thanks!
