Paginated report dynamic header name

jja — Fri, 24 Jul 2020 09:32:21 GMT

I have a paginated report that connects to powerbi online service data source. I get my dataset prepared by DAX.

I created matrix - all works fine. Report makes a page break by Salesman. This is made by setting page break in Salesman group.

Now i want to make a dynamic header for each page of this group. Lets say if on this page there is Salesman1 - report herader should write this Salesman1 name, if it breaks to another salesman then another page header shows the corresponing salesman name.

I fail to achieve it. If i simply drag salesman to textbox value in report header section in shows on each page first sasleman in the list name.

How to coorectly set it up?

You can achive this by using "List", but not page header. Page headers are not bound to data (limited).

I have recorded a short video, showing how to do this way.
