These videos are FANTASTIC! Your presentation style, energy, information - everything is fantastic and engaging! Thank you so much!

[mwaltercpa]

Great overview, thank you. Looking forward to checking out Laura’s content!

[MartinKuzmicz]

Hi Patrick, and this is my next task for BI reporting, to create an invoice in BI :) so, thanks a lot for the video!

[alt-enter]

Thanks! This was really really helpful for putting paginated reports into a context. So basically I am taking away from this that anything that USED to be a heavily paper-based process would be a good candidate for paginated reports, rather than Power BI Reports.

Love these guys, the way they're giving reference to other chanel make researching great again, thanks guys !

[RenegadeJr]

EXCELLENT video, very helpful. Thank you.

[elisamorin]

Hi, really good video. I just have a question. If I already have built a Power Bi Report with Power Bi Desktop, I have to redo all with Power Bi Report Builder ? Is it possible to use the report that I made with Desktop ?

[Darksirius]

I am really impress with your content Patrick Always learning something new

[premcst]

Good start for 2021, Keep Going Patrick !!

[chadmolde]

wow, this is great. I am hoping I can use this to create reports from a model that has RLS at branch specific locations, where i don't want branches to see other branches sales, but then use paginated reports to do a ranking to show how they rank in growth compared to other branches. That way they see each other's growth %, but not sales $s.

I only saw this video now. It was about time. I have clients using SSRS for 10 years, and paginated reports is a key requirement. The invoice example was a good one, clients would export it to individual PDFs so that it could be emailed. Great explanation, 🔥🔥🔥 video!

[debbieedwards]

This is exactly what I want. Ill have a look for those newer vids on this topic. I'm really interested to know what 'Setting up the grouping on each one of the invoices' means? thanks so much for this

[davidsetti]

Hi Patrick! enjoy all your vids. Question: How can export a PBI report with visualizations as a PDF file system process - not manual export to a file step.

[firetawgc]

I'm the only person in our Analytics team who's leveraging paginated reports. One of the things I'm doing with it is replicating an old export reports into paginated reports and setting up rls. Hard to get started with it but it's definitely good. It could use a little TLC from Microsoft.

[ankitnayak]

Is there any way to implement Bookmarks and selection pane capabilities in paginated reports?
Thanks in advance.

[Jackof]

Is there anyway to use a PBI dataset in report builder and upload to the on-premise report server and have it work?

[lmmickelson]

Can you open an rdl created in Report Builder in the Power BI Report Builder and vice versa? Are the two tools pretty much the same software under the covers?

[noahhadro]

When I create a dataset for a paginated report that is connecting to a power bi dataset I always start by writing it in Dax Studio. The query is always 2 seconds or less in dax studio but when I run it in my paginated report it always takes much longer. like 10 seconds. Am I doing something wrong (hoping this is the case) or is report builder just super slow?

[josiahcochran]

Coming from the SSRS world, we would publish reports to either the Report Server or Sharepoint. In either case, we would connect to a shared dataset. It didn’t matter what the report had embedded, the shared date set would be used instead. When my company would upgrade a SQL server, we just updated shared dataset. No need to update 30+ reports. We had to convert SSRS to Power BI paginated when we switched to Sharepoint Online. But there’s no shared dataset. The gateway automatically connects to matching embedded data source. This means I now have to manually update 30+ reports when we upgrade SQL servers. Am I missing something???

[bosonofjo]

I am using e-forms and power BI to document and make visible Project Plans and Status Reports, would paginated reports be better to use to publish/print a detailed view of the project plan? Presently the list of project deliverables is long and requires scrolling to view electronically. And I think power BI only shows what you see on the screen. Will paginated reports show me the whole table? Thanks.
