Recreating an existing report as a paginated report?
A stakeholder has requested that an existing Power BI report be recreated as a paginated report so that it can be exported as a PDF or Excel file and e-mailed to clients.
The report consists of 5 tabs with a mix of cards, table visuals, matrices, a line chart, and a stacked bar chart. Mostly tables and matrices.
I am using the report’s semantic model for the paginated and what I’m doing in Report Builder is using the underlying DAX of each visual in the PBIX (captured via Performance Analyzer) as its own dataset. It’s working for the most part but formatting to match the original visuals and troubleshooting issues with iterators in measures has made this an extremely tedious project.
I am relatively new to Report Builder so my question is how can I do this more efficiently?
