How to create a paginated report of multi-paged subreports with Power BI?

[Anonymous]

I want to create a master report that consists of multiple 5-page reports for each sales region (say 10 regions). I am creating a parameter to filter the results based on the region. Every example I found for Power BI paginated report was based on 1-page reports. I wanted to check if it is possible to create my master reports of multi-paged subreports with Power BI paginated report.

One more piece of information to add here is that each of my subreports includes a combination of tables and graphs and the number of rows in some tables may vary for each regional report (pushing some rows to the next page). It is also required to conditionally change the font color for certain rows in the table. Please let me know if these features can be applied too.

Thanks

Hi Amit, 

Thanks for your response. I'm a Tableau person and a bit new to PBI. Actually moving to PBI for all those limitations that Tableau refuses to fix.

Fascinated by the article that you kindly shared. Can you confirm that paginated report builder enables the user to "automatically" print the master report of my 10 regions for those 5-page reports that I mentionedd in my initial post one after another and add page number from 1 to 50 without the need to change the filter for each region manually?

Thanks,

Can you confirm that I will be able to create paginated reports with Embedded Capacity or I need to purchase Premium Capacity?

Thanks,

Hi @Anonymous ,

We will need to either have a License purchased for Power BI Embedded or have a Power BI Premium – Capacity P1, P2 or P3. 

This is used to host the paginated reports onto the Power BI Service.

Hi,

I have a similar requirement. I need to create a report for each customer without setting the customer filter each time manually.

I could not find in the links provided in the solution if that is possible in paginated report or not. Would appreciate it if anyone could let me know the same.

Thanks for the help!
