Microsoft release updates to Power BI Desktop regularly to include new features. Oftentimes, these added features are based on customer feedback and the latest trends in the market. In this article, I will walk you through the Page Navigation feature that was added recently.

If you are a Power BI developer you must be knowing how difficult it was to create and maintain the page navigation in Power BI Desktop, we have to set up bookmarks and then create them for all the pages, and update them whenever there is a new page or delete the existing page(reordering is a big task). It was a cumbersome task to create and maintain page navigation in Power BI Desktop.

But not anymore with the latest Page Navigation option, you can create beautiful page navigation ( horizontal or vertical) in less than a minute. Let's jump onto it and see how we can create it

Open Power BI Desktop → Click on Insert Tab → Click on Buttons → Click on Navigation → Page Navigator

you see a button with the page name (as shown in the below picture) added to the report page
