Dropdown to select which view is visible on dashboard?

[jrichview]

Is it possible on a dashboard (or report page) to add a view of each report page and then create a dropdown to select which one is visible?

Been googling but coming up empty.

If you are fine using buttons instead of drop down, then this is possible using bookmark.

This is true but every page would need a collection of 15 or so buttons. Functional,  but not a well designed UI.

Daniel, forgive me but it's a little unclear how that idea would address my concern?

Hi @jrichview,

Based on my research, I am afraid you could not achieve this feature currently, I suggest you could submit an idea to idea forum:

This is how Tableau handles it: https://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/help.htm#dashboards_sheet_selector.html

I would think Power BI would have SOME way to manage it, even if you had to resort to scripting. 

We're hosting our reports in an iframe on a web page. We're currently looking at creating a dropdown control outside of the frame and messaging the frame to tell it what page to display. All in all, the current navigation provided in a frame seems pretty clunky.
