    Report Builder has very limited transformation capabilities compared to Power BI Desktop - it only supports basic Power Query operations in preview.

    Best approach: Do all your transformations in Power BI Desktop first, then connect Report Builder to the processed dataset for paginated reporting.

    Report Builder is designed for formatting, not data transformation.
