Bringing Paginated into Power BI reports - INSANE AMAZING!

[@kostaskolotouros4345]

Good video Patrick, as always. I really wish sophisticated paginated reports were supported as a native PowerBI functionality instead of having to go through the pain of integrating them from a different tool. But life isn't always easy :)

[@roykoyal7852]

Can you help understand how subscriptions can be handled that usually is done for paginated report in SSRS. Is there any similar options?

[@afifazuhair1247]

If I'm already running powerbi embedded, can I use this visual to show paginated reports saved in the same 'embedded workspace'. Or do the paginated reports need to be saved in a premium workspace?

[@melinasibaja]

I have the same question here

[@cvassalo68]

Paginated reports are in gen 2 premium workspaces, but I'm told Power BI embedded doesn't support them yet.

[@vickarkhan]

awesome. that solution in the end related to responding to multi-select was exactly what I was looking for. many thanks.

[@bilalshafqat1634]

Hey, how will this work moving from 1 environment to another? It looks like static binding to me. So, in PowerBi desktop, I told the visual which paginated report it should embed and then I deployed the changes. Now, I pushed the changes from DEV to QA. In QA report, will it still point to the Dev paginated report?

[@walleyejim8903]

Does this require our tenant have Power BI Premium? Can we get away with having a couple developer Premium Per User licenses, then embed the Paginated Report in another report that's accessible for Pro licensed users? So many questions...

[@julianrizza594]

Is there a way to pull PBI generated forecast into paginated report?

[@emilyamalkin4367]

Thank you for the video! I need to do this, but can you please make a tutorial with multi select parameters out there and with “All” as a slicer option as well as individual options? But please use DAX as query language (not SQL)! Since "report filter parameters" are slow, I prefer using "query parameters" for faster performance. My goal is to use Power BI slicers to send multi-select data and optional slicers from the Power BI page. This way, if a user doesn't make a selection, it defaults to "All." I'm struggling to find clear information or tutorials on implementing this technique. It seems that while Power BI incorporates SSRS, connecting them via parameters isn't as seamless as expected. Thanks!

[@elrevesyelderecho]

1:01 so, if my report is a SSRS Paginated Report it won't work? 🤔🧐

[@tanieauta]

Is this visual supported in Publish to Web view?

[@eljangoolak]

Great video patrick. is there a way to pull the values of the Paginated report parameters in order to slice/use as dynamic M query filters inside powerbi desktop without importing the whole paginated report?

[@svsantoshkumar]

Just again... this is an awesome feature, and thank you for making the presentation so simple. You guys rock !!!

[@jasonroslin3797]

I noticed that the paginated visual re-renders anytime I switch between page/tabs in my report even if I'm not changing any of the slicer selections, is there any way for it to stay static the same way as my regular visuals (unless I switch a slicer value)

[@lorinamuca6461]

Hi Patrick. I created a paginated report and embedded it in a power bi report. I published it in power bi service. Next step i want to perform is to embed the paginated power bi report in power pages, but when i try to do it and open the report in power pages i receive an error: PaginatedReportEmbedForbidden. I don't understand what i am doing wrong. Thank you.

[@lonwabobosman6241]

Is the pagination still available on the preview feature? I can't find it on my pbi desktop version.

[@clifordakoyo406]

HELP. how did you prepare the parameter to show in power bi mine does not filter on slicers even if I set auto-apply filters.

[@sandeepbarge4699]

If auto apply is off, how so we apply filters to paginated report visual when uaer is done with selecting values in slicers?

[@judycalvo5127]

If I don't have Power BU Premium, can I still use paginated reports?

[@shygough]

My question as well

[@honeybhatia5708]

Hi, i want to pass from and to date range from same date field, embedding rdl in power bi desktop but in desktop not able to pass date range using parameters

[@cvassalo68]

Paginated reports don't currently work in Power BI Embedded. I was hoping this might be a work-around, but doesn't seem so. I get "An unexpected technical error" message in the visual

[@bronwensmith9480]

I am as well. Have you discovered any work arounds?

[@noopursingh35]

Very informative video, is there any detailed video on the dax functionality inside paginated report

[@mustseeiran6255]

Does it work for power bi report server(not power bi service)

[@niladrirpal4607]

Great video Patrick. This is so useful. Thank you!

[@michaels1813]

Can the paginated report use the same data source as PowerBI?

[@prathapds5566]

Hey Guy's is this option will work in PowerBIDesktop(RS) ?

[@jamesbarnthouse9724]

Thanks for the post Patrick. Very helpful. Users want the slick export of XLS that PBI doesn't have but also need to break the users of SSRS and xls.

[@janeman212]

Hi, is there any method to create power bi report using SSRS report as database

[@hajaaa100]

can you pls reply the maximum rows of data a paginated power bi can export? and also maximum GB of the file it can export.

[@karthi-h2y]

I have a requirement where users have to download more that 3,00,000 records. But from table visual in Power Bi its possible to download max 1,50,000 records only. So will i be able to exceed that limit using paginated reports?

[@gerryabramovich8739]

Can i use the Paginated Reports in on prem ?

[@1yyymmmddd]

OK, if I have multiple PBI pages one of which is Paginated Report visual - is there a way to export (say to pdf) all the PBI pages including the PR visual? Or does PR visual has to be exported separately and then merged in Adobe with other exported pages?

[@ssatya4190]

Same question

[@charanthipparthi2773]

is it possible to export the data and a header part at a time into excel

[@yannickfranckum6589]

Thanks Patrick for sharing!

[@pilarsastre518]

This doesn't work when running it as an embedded report :(. Try embedding it in the PBI Playground

[@cvassalo68]

same problem here

[@KristianBrizendine]

I tried using this to display a custom map that I created in PBI Report Builder (because labels aren't supported on custom maps in PBI but they are supported in PBI R.B.). It works except that when I export the PBI report to PPT or PDF the embedded report doesn't render quickly enough so it appears blank in the output file! Any ideas?

[@mariobohme8703]

This is not efficiently integrated by Power BI. Unfortunately, it is not possible to date a pagination at native visual table or matrix, which is standard with other bi tools

[@vpwl]

Great video Patrick. There are many use cases you would want to export the data and run analysis offline, or merge with other data set not available in Power Bi. I always wondered why Microsoft limited export to 150k rows. Would you happen to know the reasons behind this limitation? And if there are any future plans to allow greater export limit?

[@Flow2k8]

I don‘t have „preview features“ in my options and settings. Do i need to have a premium license for this? Where can i check what type of license i (meaning the company i am working for) have? I would love to have the toolbar feature which would make it possible to export data in .ppt or .pdf, that would be awesome!

[@andreeabanateanu120]

Did you update your PowerBI Desktop app?

[@DavidStavegard]

Wow - that's a nice feature, and also great way of showing this new feature!

[@allardbon1967]

Thanks a lot Patrick! You rock!

[@MrPranavpatel72]

Hi Patrick - Thanks for sharing this feature!! Really appreciated.. just checking if this still requires Paginated Report to be place inside Premium Capacity?

[@joeseroski1095]

It needs to be either Premium or Premium Per User.

[@subbarayachari7654]

My challeng is how to create Barcodes in paginated reports. When it is published to the service i need to see barcodes only

[@MrWLKNSN]

What's even more insane is that the connection string is fixed so that you can't deploy this stuff within deployment pipelines as the paginated report visuals would just keep pointing to the same original paginated report.

[@1yyymmmddd]

Still can't get it why would you use Paginated Reports if you can do same things on PBI Desktop ... :(

[@jamesbarnthouse9724]

Because the export function on prod Power BI visualizations are unformatted data tables.

[@1yyymmmddd]

@@jamesbarnthouse9724 Why would you need to export anything from PBI? You can do everything in PBI Desktop, can't you?

[@jamesbarnthouse9724]

@@1yyymmmddd I have worked with multiple end users asking for formatted excel tables of the same data provided to them in PBI web service or desktop. Hard to break some user’s habits of relying on spreadsheets.

Hi Patrick I need your help I do not know if what I will ask you now is possible But that's the issue TOTAL line I did two calculations of ordered from customer versus received One general and one against stock conditions (if there was no stock in the last 3 days of the product) It seems to be working in rows of the table it returns BLANK But the total comes out the same

[@evnpresson7258]

I'm still struggling to see the value of having this Paginated Reports in a PBI report. They have two different scopes and purposes. You can see that you still have to scroll down in the Paginated Report visual just like you would if you simply showed the data using a table visual. So whats the gain?

[@cfinlan]

You don't necessarily have to scroll down (you could use the toolbar and page through the pieces of the table), and you can export the paginated report independently of the rest of the Power BI report and it will fully export. Imagine a banking statement inside a Power BI report showing your spending charts at the top - something like that

[@andronikoszinakus6644]

PDF export requirements I’d say are the big one. Some industries still cling to printed reports of which paginated still has its place.

[@andreeabanateanu120]

Tested myself with multiple filters coming from tables without a relationship between them. It didn’t work. When you will add more fields in Parameters which are coming from tables without a relationship, Powerbi BI will return that error “there is no relationship between the fields bla bla..”. Everyone, do you know a solution for this? Thank you!

[@andreeabanateanu120]

To describe better, I need to switch between 3 measures so I created a tabel in my model with those 3 option. Ofc that table is not connected with the rest of the model. When I drag that column in Parameters, next to other columns, PowerBI gives me the error about the fact that there is no relationships, which is true, but I need that filter for my switch measure. Any solution on that? 😢

[@ricardodiaz7296]

@@andreeabanateanu120 did you find a solution for this? 😔

[@andreeabanateanu120]

@@ricardodiaz7296 OMG yes! Try to link all tables using a measure. Put one or more measures that use all columns you need for filters. No need to link that measure to a parameter, you only need that to stay next to your columns used in parameters. Try it and let me know here if works.

[@tuyoexcelypowerbi]

Interesting!!

[@andronikoszinakus6644]

It feels a little gimmicky, but I’m sure there’s some niche applications for an ssrs visual. I think I’d rather the user access the paginated report directly.

[@rcb3921]

Many business users that I have encountered *really* resent links, especially if the target report is parameterized and they have to select the parameters. This is a very nice skin over the experience, and a way to get "leaf level" data into a report without having to pull in everything under the sun every time the pbix is refreshed.

It's set to don't summarize and show items with no data and I've tried formatting it different ways in my spreadsheet. The only way that it displays is if I put the double quotes around it but I don't want it to display the double quotes in the report. Any ideas would be helpful...

I think for this we need the paginated report published to service. Unfortunately I am not able to embed this paginated report to PBI because I am unable to publish my report, I think we can't publish a paginated report with a free trial account. It's a pro feature.
