For me I think it might be viable only if the pages are group able into logical categories. That way, you can create the button and then add an action to it that opens a panel with subgroup items of various "pages" or "visual pagings" of your choosing. Choosing the item on the panel automatically collapses the panel and shows the page chosen. JustSayin'.
@@GuyInACube Hello, it's greate video.can i get that pbix file to see and get more exposure on this plzzzzzzzzz...its really helpful...khwajaameen0786@gmail.com...
Thanks so much for this video! We watch Amanda's videos every month and always wonder how the buttons look so awesome. The blank buttons on top of card just blew my mind! Thank you!
This is really REALLY helpful and will change my approach. I'd gone down this route but had reservations as I didn't appreciate the significance of turning off Data, Display etc and couldn't figure out why clicking my buttons erased prior filter choices. Switching off Data in my bookmarks was the eureka moment you gave me to fix this. Thanks so much!!
Good to see Amanda here with Adam, religiously listening to updates every month and eagerly waiting every month. You are doing great job. Please give user some control over data label positioning.
Similar to the new cross report drill through feature. I would love for these buttons to be able to navigate to pages in other reports all while staying within the same . I understand the link to a web URL is possible but being able to keep it in the same would be key
Thanks a lot for this. I always used a transparent rectangle shape. Not sure if a blank button and that is the same. But this sure changes the way I use buttons now!
The nice advantage of the buttons over rectangle shapes is that you can add the fancy hover effects. But if you don't need that, shapes definitely work as well!
You're making me actually like Power BI. The UX Team designed a tabs view and I was a bit lost on how to implement it using Power BI but you shed some light on the matter. Thanks.
Is there a how-to on how to create the rest of this beautifully professional report? It was great to understand how the buttons work. I would like to see how the "next level" Report layout is designed
Great video. I recently learned about UNCHECKING the data option for bookmarks. I think those items should be UNCHECKED by default. Also, I have created buttons by creating images, grouping them together and then placing invisible/clear buttons over them. Would love to share with you what i did with buttons. I have gotten some really good feedback from people.
I am doing exactly the same as Amanda did with page navigation using buttons, moreover, my client asked me to create an interactive menu that changes from one visual to the other (same product but different measures) so, I am about to get into that visual layering using the selection panel. I had that idea and after this video, I am sure I was pointing in the right direction. Thank you very much Guys.
Would love toggle switches - currently able to do this with 2 overlapped images right now. Use case to give users options to swap visuals (e.g. cumulative vs periodic)
Very useful and beautiful design! As for the question, sometimes when I need more realstate I like to create slicers that actually select what measure is being shown in the analysis.
now we have the new perfect feature for button, Page navigation. No need to use bookmark to navigate to pages. The buttons can be used for cool slicers now or drill down effects. i wanted to point out also if it's possible to remove the page navigation arrow below the report after publishing it so as to make the report more like an app feel.
This channel is awesome! I've watched about 20 of your videos and I love the passion with which you talk. It is not a regular boring tutorial video that is hard to follow. When I'm watching your videos, I'm focussed 100%. Thank you so much! It's helping me a lot in my work
Great video about Buttons, thanks. I would like suggest your team thinking about create a navigation panel, like a frame in web apps. you can add / remove or change any buttons in this frame. And also set the navigation panel on top or left.
I use buttons and bookmarks all the time but the invisible buttons over other content idea was new to me. I started using it today in a new report I'm building. Thanks for the tip!
Good to see you Amanda... Last time I saw you, was in the Introduction video to Power BI. I follow your Power BI updates video. The way you present is amazing , really easy to understand . Thanks Adam for bringing her. :) Keep up the good work Guy's. Lot of us here follow you.
I'm actually using the hidden button technique but instead of having multiple pages I have one page that has a ton of different views depending on what I click on.
Thank you for the video. Really useful with the page navigation as I am embedding the report in the application where vertical scroll makes no visibility to the tab pages below.
I started removing titles of objects in the View pane, because when a report is loading in the service, it shows the titles for a split second even when you have turned the titles off. I find it lifting the veil when the viewer is seeing a white page load with just a bunch of titles and loading circles at the start.
Excellent. I would definitely use it. It would be a good idea if pbi allows to hide tab names at the bottom like Excel; this would make those buttons more meaningful by forcing user to use them. Also, would request you to create a detailed video on all the options of bookmarks. There is none that explains it well.
It already does! You can choose to hide tabs so that when you put the report online, the users won't see them, but you won't be prevented from navigating to them :)
Fab video, good to have an explanation for the data, display and current page checkbox options. I'd love to be able to group my selection pane items together in the same fashion as bookmarks, then be able to show or hide whole groups of objects, such as my collapsible slicer selection panes. Really like the blank button overlay on cards too.
It would be great if we were able to load simple code steps instead of the manual setup, example on click event, navigate("pageName"); Shape("chart1").visible = true and then assign those events to buttons
Great video, It's an Excellent support. I would like to request, if Microsoft Power Bi can include more icons for the buttons options. Thanks for this video, really help me a lot.
Or the ability to add your own icons (just let us know the size and info .. we have a lot of icons in our industry that mean different things and having this ability would be a great capability! - idea time)
I've seen that approach before as well. Definitely useful. If you want to do more than that, the button/bookmark approach may be a better option. Especially if you want to change the visual type as well.
@@GuyInACube but if we use bookmarks instead of slicers to display different visuals based on selection, it would impact the performance as there would be two visuals that would be refreshed.
Would love to see a selected state for a button too. We're often building two sets of buttons so that if something is conditionally selected, the button changes colour (i.e. switches to another button!). It would be great if we could just use one button for this!
Thanks Guys, this is awesome. My question is If I have 2 separate sets of buttons using bookmarks to toggle between table and chart. How do I make the bookmarks not impact the other bookmark selection
if you're going to use this method of layering visuals on top of one another, group the visuals in a sensible order. for instance, say you have a P1 button that is 'disabled' if you are on page 1, and another P1 button that is 'enabled' if you are on another page, and they are layered on top of each other, making one visible and the other hidden depending on the bookmark chosen. take both of those buttons and group them (by selecting both button in the Selection pane, click on the ellipses, and choose Group) and name the group something logical, like P1 buttons for this example. by grouping the buttons, they become a cohesive single unit. by doing this, you can make them both visible/hidden in the selection pane, but more importantly, they move as a unit. so, if you are redoing the layout of the page, you drag and drop the Grouped buttons instead of each one separately.
There should be a go-to-page action in the buttons so we don't need to create 100 page-only bookmarks manually. That's exactly what she was thinking off at 06:07. These tricks are good but they should be a lot quicker to implement to make them trully powerful
Another AWESOME video tutorial! Glad I'm watching these before we get too deep into our initial Power BI rollout so we can incorporate all the (reasonable) functionality now.
I want an easy button for users to export that data in any visual/table. The 3 dots for average folks just looks like three periods to them...means nothing to them.
I've had so many reports with text boxes and arrows pointing to those ellipses with "click here to export"! My colleague says it's time to phase that out "users must learn!" 🤷
This is very helpful, thank you. There is one functionality that I wish was easier in Power BI. That is enabling and disabling buttons based on the selection in visuals. For example, can I have a button that is grayed out unless I make a selection in my graph? I know there is a drill through button option with the March update, but there is no way to style the button while it's disabled - that is a major drawback of that feature.
Great video and I have a question. When you are showing the blank button on top of a card, is that a multi-row card with different colors I'm looking at (Usage)? I didn't think that was possible. I must be missing something. Thanks :)
Hey, great video. How does the bookmarks show different visuals (around 8:21)? Are these just similar tables layered over each other and the bookmarks decide which layer is shown?
Great video. One thing to feed back is embed codes can be hard to manage, it would be great if we could have a 'friendly' url instead of having to point at a report via an embed code. That way if a report needs to change our external users don't need to worry if the embed code changes. Thanks
Great. In bookmark usage like you, when i have a lot bookmarks, it is unlike to have all of them in the action pane. When Microsoft will add the group level on the action button ?
Would love to see button as symbol (in terms of Flash :P) so that a colour change in one place would reflect all buttons across pages, a big time saver!! Thanks for the video.
Thanks for sharing! This is very helpful. How did she get the button to show grey when it's on that page and keep rest of the buttons white? For example, when she's on P1, the button has a grey background. When she is on P2, P1 and rest of the other buttons have white background, but P2 button has grey background. I tried to achieve this with the right-hand panel (visualization). But it hasn't worked for me.
Great video Very useful. The information window is very helpful in web but not sure how to implement for the Mobile. It looks out of place like I am adding another visualization. How can I add/embed it into the existing visualization? My purpose is, when I tap/hover the visualization, I want to show information related to that visualization in the MOBILE. I appreciate your help.
Hello, Can you teach us ...when we hover on the button (P2) it should zoom out reveling the P3 like the animation on the Ring chart by MAQ software...it will make the report more visualizing
Thanks! What about using slicers instead of buttons to achieve the same thing that you showed with the cards? Is there a way to use a dropdown slicer to change the visuals on the page?
Hi! Love your blog! I have been playing around with adding buttons to reports and it's great. I watched your video: Remove CONFUSION in your Power BI report with this little feature! Which was great, as I learnt how to import a gif and use it as a tooltip for another page. However, what I want to do is have a button on a report page, that when it's clicked, will show the gif (tooltip) that's on another page. Is this possible? With the Button- Action, there is no option for tooltip under Type. I have tried assigning a bookmark to the button, but that didn't work, as the report is on another page. Please help!
hi, Thanks a lot for all the tutorials. Its great, please keep doing such videos. Can anyone tell me if they have created a button which can be used to export visual data (table) to csv or xl?
I'm now using a button to toggle on or off advanced Tooltips. I've so far only figured out a way to do it by having one report page with native tooltips, and another duplicate where custom tooltips is added to each visual. Would have been cool to be able to save a visual property setting in the bookmark it self rather than switching to another report page :-)
honestly power bi is the greatest thing i have ever used. i used to be a weak bi but with power bi helping me out, i am now a certified power bi. even since using this my bisexuality has gone up in great lengths and now i am more confident in myself. im even thinking of coming out of the closet. so thank you power bi for helping me gain more confidence in my bisexuality and basically powering up my bi. - with great love a certified power bi
Option to group bookmarks is great, clears things up. What I think could be improved to have this same hierarchy automatically under actions-->bookmark dropdown selection, where you have to assign the action to the button. Otherwise it can be quite chaotic there after a while
For the page navigation visual, do you have to recreate the visual on each and every page or is there a way to create only once and it will appear on others?
Hi and thank for both of you for a nice and informative presentation. Just one question; after making these new buttons with their connection to bookmarks, is it possible to adapt these funktionalities in the final dashboard as a view person? Greetings, Pasi from Finland
So we can create a dashboard kind of thing in power bi desktop as in power service,but it is actually a report.... Very nice...i learnt good stuff to day...thanks
Why can't we simply use Page Navigation in the "page button" Action instead of Bookmarks? Is there any trade-off while using Page navigation? Just wanted to know :)
do you use a button to filter the data to show all values less than 0? basically i like to group my data to 3 buckets. they are actually % so everything "< -15%", "-1515%". basically anything less than -15%, between -15 and 15, and greater than 15%. how would you recommend us doing that? can we use a button to do this? a slicer doesn't seem to cut.
Thank you. Want to create an additional checkbox on each row of a report. Each row shows an owner's billing amount. So they can review and click to approve their bill. More so, trigger a notification back to me when the checkbox is clicked. Is it possible?
Once again an awesome video, and of course a great guest. Since the April release, I use the title property as it is possible to create dynamic titles - thanks for this feature. Maybe you might consider creating a "toggle" effect, meaning hitting the button the 2nd time goes back to the previous state.
One thing I personally really miss with bookmarks is the current interactions with report level filters. For example if i have a from navigation pane where my consumer select product. And within this filter i would like to set bookmarks that filter down a report based on a different dimension. This is not possible. Since the bookmark is saved with just one report level filter. Doesnt feel very interactive..
its cool to have the left page navigation thing but is there any way we can make the bottom page tab disappear as they are of no use after making navigation panel.Thanks
Is this the Power BI Pro version - that you`re using in the video? - I`d like to know how to create that left side menu - with the buttons - outside of the "work area".
Love the blank button idea. I’m going to layer it into a customer issue tracker. Question for y’all, do certain data sources load faster than others? I’ve been using Excel but is Access or SQL quicker? I’m looking to improve load speeds. My datasets aren’t even that big, sub 1000 rows
I used this to build a report my boss is stoked with - so thank you! One thing I need to be able to do, which I can't work out yet, is to select a slicer then select a button, keeping my slicer option. The report is to find data discrepancies in our projects. So for example, I have buttons which I can click to see all items overdue...then I can select my name from a list of assignee's in a slicer, then I see all of the overdue items assigned to myself...but I can't go the other way...select my name from the slicer, then select all overdue button. I have played with the option in the bookmarks "Selected visuals" and "All visuals", but this only sometimes works...IM STUCK!
I loved this "100-page" moment so much, thanks for this good laugh!
6:06 ))
For me I think it might be viable only if the pages are group able into logical categories. That way, you can create the button and then add an action to it that opens a panel with subgroup items of various "pages" or "visual pagings" of your choosing.

Is there any way to click the button without need to keep CTRL pressed?
honestly power bi is the greatest thing i have ever used. i used to be a weak bi but with power bi helping me out, i am now a certified power bi. even since using this my bisexuality has gone up in great lengths and now i am more confident in myself. im even thinking of coming out of the closet. so thank you power bi for helping me gain more confidence in my bisexuality and basically powering up my bi.
- with great love a certified power bi
Option to group bookmarks is great, clears things up. What I think could be improved to have this same hierarchy automatically under actions-->bookmark dropdown selection, where you have to assign the action to the button. Otherwise it can be quite chaotic there after a while
For the page navigation visual, do you have to recreate the visual on each and every page or is there a way to create only once and it will appear on others?
Hi and thank for both of you for a nice and informative presentation. Just one question; after making these new buttons with their connection to bookmarks, is it possible to adapt these funktionalities in the final dashboard as a view person? Greetings, Pasi from Finland
I am very excited to see the wat of discussion, lot of love for you both
So we can create a dashboard kind of thing in power bi desktop as in power service,but it is actually a report.... Very nice...i learnt good stuff to day...thanks
From my experience, a lot of folks use a report as a dashboard. Definitely possible. 👊
Appreciated for all your knowledge Hub!! will that be possible for video on Hide/show radio button using DAX measure and filed Value
Why can't we simply use Page Navigation in the "page button" Action instead of Bookmarks? Is there any trade-off while using Page navigation? Just wanted to know :)
Can we have a capability of having custom tooltip page on button hover... I need that requirement & even we can build that using d3.js ?
do you use a button to filter the data to show all values less than 0? basically i like to group my data to 3 buckets. they are actually % so everything "< -15%", "-1515%". basically anything less than -15%, between -15 and 15, and greater than 15%. how would you recommend us doing that? can we use a button to do this? a slicer doesn't seem to cut.
Thank you. Want to create an additional checkbox on each row of a report. Each row shows an owner's billing amount. So they can review and click to approve their bill. More so, trigger a notification back to me when the checkbox is clicked. Is it possible?
Nice to finally see you Amanda 🙂
Hi there, liked your video, I have a question on auto scroll of pages, is this possible? Please advise
Once again an awesome video, and of course a great guest. Since the April release, I use the title property as it is possible to create dynamic titles - thanks for this feature. Maybe you might consider creating a "toggle" effect, meaning hitting the button the 2nd time goes back to the previous state.
This is great! I have created my navigation menu using pictures, directing bookmarks to each one, instead of using buttons...
Awesome! Very exciting. Glad you were able to get that sorted. Thanks for watching 👊
One thing I personally really miss with bookmarks is the current interactions with report level filters. For example if i have a from navigation pane where my consumer select product. And within this filter i would like to set bookmarks that filter down a report based on a different dimension. This is not possible. Since the bookmark is saved with just one report level filter. Doesnt feel very interactive..
its cool to have the left page navigation thing but is there any way we can make the bottom page tab disappear as they are of no use after making navigation panel.Thanks
Very nice. Let's have more!
Is this the Power BI Pro version - that you`re using in the video?
- I`d like to know how to create that left side menu - with the buttons - outside of the "work area".
Love the blank button idea. I’m going to layer it into a customer issue tracker. Question for y’all, do certain data sources load faster than others? I’ve been using Excel but is Access or SQL quicker? I’m looking to improve load speeds. My datasets aren’t even that big, sub 1000 rows
I used this to build a report my boss is stoked with - so thank you! One thing I need to be able to do, which I can't work out yet, is to select a slicer then select a button, keeping my slicer option. The report is to find data discrepancies in our projects. So for example, I have buttons which I can click to see all items overdue...then I can select my name from a list of assignee's in a slicer, then I see all of the overdue items assigned to myself...but I can't go the other way...select my name from the slicer, then select all overdue button. I have played with the option in the bookmarks "Selected visuals" and "All visuals", but this only sometimes works...IM STUCK!
