Paginated Report Visual in Power BI | How to Use It and Why It Matters | KSR DATAVIZON

We can filter paginated report right? You are saying we can only show or hide entire report, but no, i think we can get specific values also by defining parameter appropriately

Can we create all the charts using paginated reports, or is it limited only for tables

[@KSRDatavizon]

You can create most, but not all, charts using paginated reports in tools like SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). Paginated reports are not limited to just tables. Here's a breakdown: Charts Supported in Paginated Reports: Common Charts: Bar charts, column charts, line charts, pie charts, scatter charts, and various combinations of these are all available in paginated reports. Gauges and Meters: You can include gauges and meters to represent performance metrics or other quantitative data. Maps: While not as sophisticated as dedicated mapping tools, paginated reports offer basic map visualizations for geographic data. Limitations of Paginated Reports for Charts: Complex Charting Libraries: Paginated reports might not support the advanced features and customization options available in modern charting libraries. Interactive Features: Charts in paginated reports are generally static images and don't offer the same level of interactivity as charts in web dashboards. Limited Data Visualization Options: While paginated reports support various charts, they might not be suitable for highly complex data visualizations with many data points or intricate relationships. Alternatives for Complex Charts: Integration with Other Tools: Paginated reports can be combined with other tools like Power BI for more advanced data visualization needs. You can use paginated reports for tabular data summaries and integrate charts created in Power BI for a comprehensive report. Exporting Data: Paginated reports can often export data to formats like Excel or CSV. This allows users to manipulate the data and create their own charts in other tools. In conclusion: Paginated reports are a powerful tool for creating reports that include both tables and a variety of charts. However, for highly complex visualizations or interactive dashboards, you might need to consider additional tools or techniques.

So only tables can be generated with paginated reports and not other visuals unlike Power BI reports which contain tables, visuals, filters, etc..

[@KSRDatavizon]

Paginated reports in Power BI, while different from standard Power BI reports, can contain more than just tables. However, their primary focus is on precise, pixel-perfect formatting, and they are designed for generating reports that span multiple pages, making them well-suited for printing or PDF export. Unlike traditional Power BI reports, which are more interactive and designed for real-time visual analytics, paginated reports emphasize structured layouts.

You messed up the part on parameter - you created a parameter, but did not link it to anything, which defies the purpose of a parameter.

Thank you for your feedback, will make better sessions in future .

Can I create paginated report with power bi desktop?

[@KSRDatavizon]

Power BI does offer a feature called "Paginated Reports," but it is available through Power BI Report Builder rather than Power BI Desktop.
