Textfeld in PBI Desktop for Pag. Report

[DerMainzer]

Hey guys,

I need your brains.... just for support, not for a zombie apocalypse 🙂

Question: How do I get a textfield in PBI Desktop to a Report?:

Thanks in advance

You cannot do this. Paginated Reports can only connect to the data model for a Power BI Report, they cannot connect to the visuals inside a report.

Thank you - I can connect differnt slicers to my Pag Report that is in my PBI Report. But can I also add somehow any kind of a variable?

One option would be to create a table in your data model for that. It could just have 1 row or a row per variable

I've tried, but I just don't manage to get the Text somebody puts into the text box into that table.

The final goal is:

The recorder of the meeting enters the name of the participants into the textfield in the pbi desktop visual, that is been safed in the table, that table is a parameter in the pag.report (that is on the same page in the PBI Desktop) and it changes after the recorder is finished entering the names.

does that make sense?
