The Hitchhiker's Guide to navigating Power BI
summary
Shows concrete tricks: build a one‑page front portal that opens other reports in new tabs, use buttons + bookmarks and hover‑icon toggles to switch hierarchy levels, combine drillthrough and dynamic headers to land on account‑level pages, and replace tabbed pages with custom page navigators. Uses app publishing with app audiences to show different content to sales vs others, scorecards/metrics for daily KPI check‑ins, and embedding in SharePoint or Teams. Works but portal UX and changing URLs remain fragile.
