Creating a report in Power BI should always include a stage of design that considers appropriate functionality for the end users. Though data transformation, modelling, and calculations are of course vital steps, failure to consider functionality can often, especially in the initial roll-out of Power BI within an organization, hinder user acceptance, or at the very least, overshadow the good work you have done preparing the data. The use of buttons and bookmarks can be a key element in your report preparation.
Bookmarks are a simple concept, but their value lies in their adaptability and often in the imagination of the report designer. This presentation aims to show how buttons and bookmarks can be leveraged to create sleek functionality, not only adding useful elements within your reports, but also giving you many other options as to how your data can be visualized. From absolutely essential buttons which should grace all reports, to niche bookmarks which serve as a sneaky workaround, the purpose of the presentation is to show how buttons and bookmarks, though sometimes tricky to set up, can make your life easier, but more importantly, help you create a report which does the data justice.
