Power BI PAGE NAVIGATION Panel | HOW TO easily create with Bookmarks & Buttons

[@paulmuldoon9671]

This was a great and very helpful video for someone like myself getting more familiar with PowerBI, using buttons, and creating a nav menu. I hope to take all these tips and work to build a similar mobile layout. Just a tip if anyone needs them. The background image, and white/yellow menu icons can be pulled from the sample file if you change the file format to zip and open the zip archive.

[@simranbansal2309]

Thank you so much for this video which is so clear and helpful. Also, the way you have explained it step by step was appreciable. Keep it going. Good Job

[@thegeoster]

This was super informative and very clear. I’ve personally been challenged by the nuances of display selection, etc., and the way you demonstrated everything was clear, concise, and easy for me to replicate on my own. Thank you for this!

[@ExcelFort]

Thanks and appreciate it

[@olenaoleary7218]

Very professional attitude! Lots to learn from you. Thank you

[@davefaust78]

This video helped me create a dynamic dashboard with such amazing functionality. My manager loved incorporating a navigation panel in my latest project, and I received very high remarks. Thank you for creating such a clear tutorial. Every dashboard I create going forward will have a cool variation on this navigation panel.

[@lemonslice7286]

Thanks for this, there is an issue if your end user want to export the report, the navigation pane remains open on the page you've just navigated from, so on the export pdf or powerpoint the nav pane is showing. I couldn't find a way to overcome this.

[@lazolangcengula9511]

This is absolutely amazing!

[@Dyn19]

Hai @ExcelFort, someone please help me, im using the bookmark function EXACTLY like the tutorial on 15:54 , but when i tried to navigate, the 'sales nav open' does not capture what layers i selected. instead it captures 'sales nav open' for both bookmarks. when i tried to reorganize, it wont capture the layers i selected. it like in a loop. can someone help me?

[@ExcelFort]

Make sure you clicked the SELECTED VISUALS when creating bookmarks

[@soumyajeetmitra6958]

Thank You! Great Learning experience

[@marcelaguerra3442]

Excellent! Please let me know, how do you do to make the panel close itself, when you change to another page ? 🙏

I have demonstrated it in the video, please check the part where Bookmarks are explained.

Sorry, I haven't made any end-to-end projects in Power BI. This looks like a good idea for a future video.

[@stefanocoppola8802]

thanx for this tutorial, really helpfull and useful! .....but I have a trouble.....cause when I show or hide the right tabs (for example the visualization tab of power BI) the shapes and background move and the impagination doesn't remain locked adn/or it doesn't adapt itself......where am I wrong? thanks

[@ExcelFort]

Glad you like it! It looks like an strange issue, I haven't faced it. Publish your file to Power BI service and check if the locations of the shapes change.

[@fatinmaisarah9676]

may I ask, what's the purpose of unclicking Data , select All Visuals then click update at 15:45 ?

[@lijunchen]

Thanks for the wonderful video with detailed instructions on creating the popup page navigation panel. I also likes the background image you inserted. Do you have a video on how to create a Power Point background image? Also with the new page navigation feature in Power BI, can we just add a page navigation pane without creating separate buttons for each page? Thanks.

[@philipposorfanos209]

Great video. I am not sure if you covered this, but when I go back again to a page (I have already opened previously), the page navigation on the left remains open. How can we fix that so whenever we go back to a previously opened page to find it in a close format?

[@ingridgwladys2827]

Thanks so much for this video. Great tips. I am working on a program and would love to have pages and subpages. With pages representing a project and subpages their corresponding reports. As an example : sales, cost, profit overview could be subpages to each project within the same program. This will require each page to have a summary scroll down which when click on list all of the subpages and reclicked shows only the page. Any chance you share tips on this please please. Truly appreciate all you share for free over here.

[@ExcelFort]

Thanks for watching the video I will try to crate a video on how to create such navigation

[@adafox4278]

Amazing video. Thank you so much.

[@weekendwarrior2014]

This looks amazingn and easy to follow! Just wondering: what is the benefit compared to clicking on the single pages (sales ov, Cost ov, Info) underneath? Is that basically the same? Is it possible to hide that bar?

[@ExcelFort]

Thanks for watching the video. Having a navigation pane gives better control over page navigation and adds better UX. For your second question, you can hide all the tabs except one (the home page) and allow the user to navigate to the hidden pages using the custom navigation.

[@ketanshah1389]

Very much informative video. I was facing issue at navigation across Book Mark, but understanding of Group concepts made navigation very easy. Need more information if I select / filter using slicers and using navigation I can see relevant data on next page.

[@alexandre5150]

Thank you. Great video. Btw, would it be possible to share the icons?? Menu White and Menu Yellow?? I appreciate it upfront.

[@MrsRedD3vil]

did you find out?

[@alexandre5150]

@@MrsRedD3vil no 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@deebanm124]

@ExcelFort I have achived the page navigation with your help. I have one doubt. If we click the sales, cost and profit buttons it will go the next page. if we mistakenly click the Close arrow cover (Page Navigation panel which is colored by yellow) then the sales, cost and profit buttons hided by this panel. Could you please clarify how to fix it?

[@ExcelFort]

The Close button is positioned in a way to completely hide the other buttons when clicked, this is intentional to ensure the user is always in control of the page navigation.

Hi, thanks for the video. Currently I see that these navigations doesn't support conditional usage. Example, I have bookmarks which I use for slicer panel, which I do not want to include in bookmark navigation, can we exclude them?

[@ExcelFort]

Not clear enough, could you provide more details please

[@Bharath_PBI]

@@ExcelFort sure, have 10 bookmarks in your report and do a bookmark navigation showing only for 3 bookmarks instead of all 10.. hope this helps.

Hey bro Round of applause for this video. You made life simpler by this video. I'm now a big fan of you. Also requesting to create a video where we can do something totally different from the bottuns and navigation. Thanks

[@ExcelFort]

Sure I will

[@CountryViewMeadows]

so good! Can you explain the reason for selecting the menu objects before creating the bookmark? thank you

[@ExcelFort]

I wanted to apply the bookmarks only on selected objects so that later when we add visuals they won’t be affected. I selected the objects and set SELECTED VISUALS IN the bookmark property to accomplish that.

First of all excellent video cristal clear, I just want to know why I dont have the same formates that you have, for example when I create a button I dont have shape option, or the custom buttun in order to put and image instead the default images

[@ExcelFort]

Thanks! Make sure you have the latest Power BI Desktop version downloaded

[@prachigorwadkar6969]

Amazing video, thank you for sharing. One query, can we have the same bookmark for 2 different pages?

[@ExcelFort]

If it was possible, I would have saved a lot of work:). Actually, bookmarks are specific to the objects that used at the time of creating them so you cannot dynamically change from page to page. Hope you got it

[@iwantsmore9616]

Hi, is there a way to make sure the panel closes itself after you navigate to other pages?

[@ExcelFort]

The technique I used he does exactly like that

[@val5214]

​@@ExcelFort what he means is , if you are on the sales page and click the the costs page button on the he slide out menu you created - how do you close the slide out menu on both the costs page AND the sales page. In your example it closes on the costs page, but if you were to export to pdf, the menu will show still open on the sales page

[@djnature1741]

Yes I do have similar question. If you navigate using the nav bar from page 1 to page 2, when you switch back to page 1 the nav bar is still open.

[@karennguyen7083]

[@ExcelFort]

[@nehajadhav2770]

Thanks for this! Looks amazing! On top of opening different reports, I am also looking for an option where the opening report can be filtered based on button click by passing parameter. Do you know how we can achieve this?

[@ExcelFort]

Glad it was helpful! I am not sure if it's possible pass parameters, if you could explain more, it will help me understand your question better.

[@pieterlinden8292]

@@ExcelFort In SSRS, you can open a report and pass parameters to it, filtering the report, so you get a subset of the data (I think you do it with a bookmark and the Data property).

[@saxhigh]

Hi Fowmy, thanks for this. Is there a better solution now using the new navigation button panels in combination say with the collapsing panel but without the overhead of the navigation bookmarks?

[@michaelthompson7054]

Thank you for this video. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this always defaulting to the Menu objects being open when moving from one page to the next (although admittedly it seems to be worse in Chrome). There is always an extra click required when going to the next page. It confuses the users. I've probably set something incorrectly. Greatly appreciate any advice on this. When using this, it would also be nice to remove the default navigation Pages menu that Power BI forces by default, otherwise there are always two navigation menus. The purpose of this for me was to give max screen size and width for those using smaller laptops. Appreciate any help on this. Thanks

[@himanshugupta3897]

Can you help me understand why different bookmarks (Open and Close) were created for each page. Instead of saying Sales Nav Open and Sales Nav Close, we can have common bookmarks Nav Open and Nav Close and reuse the same for all the 3 pages. Please help me understand what I am missing?

[@ExcelFort]

Bookmarks are page-specific here. We have the objects on each page and separate bookmarks need to be created to toggle the visibility.
