BUILT-IN FIELDS
I have a Paginated Report (PBI Report Builder) that is working for the most part. The Built-In Field [&ReportName] does not populate on my report. It was populating and then it stopped populating.
I checked the version of Paginated Reports and it is up-to-date.
Just in case, I deleted Paginated Reports from my laptop and reinstalled it.
- First picture shows - TNFSB00 which is the ORD_CTL_NO
- Second picture shows the software is current
- Third picture shows the design pane where it shows [&ReportName] - [ORD_CTL_NO]
I just noticed that there was no space between [&ReportName] and the following dash but I just modifed it and tested with same result.
Your advice will be greatly appreciated!
I received a solution to the missing &ReportName which seems obvious in retrospect but was not at the time.
The Globals &ReportName is stored on the server so it isn’t available until the report has been published. My development method is just to make a change and then test it. Publishing the report is the very last thing for me. So this explains it all.
The following site is also very helpful and shows the resolution.

Hi Anonymous ,
Is it possible to provide screenshots of the relevant steps. Under my test, the built-in fields created are displayed properly.
Or you can refer to the steps in the following blog.
- The "Report Data" side panel. Here we can expand the "Built-in Fields" option to display a whole set of page elements that we can drag and drop into the report.
- Insert a text box and drag the fields into this text box.
- Add page numbers in this way will ensure that page numbers are automatically calculated for each subsequent page.
For more details, you can read related blog:
If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.
Best Regards,
Henry
