HTML table in a text box in a Paginated Report (Power BI Builder)

mcantos — Fri, 25 Aug 2023 10:55:50 GMT

Hello,

I need to display a table in a text box in my paginated report. I mean, the field I'm pulling from the dataset (rich text type) is a table like this:

I used the placeholder property "HTMl - Interpret HTML tags as styles", it keeps some HTML format but doesn't create the table.

Is there any way to make this possible in Power BI Builder? I saw that it is using Power BI Desktop with HTML content visuals, but I don't see anything like that in Power BI Builder.

Thank you!

Hi mcantos,

1. Create a Report Builder (rdl) file with table as per your requirement

and publish it to the server with a name, for instance, "Requirement".

2. In a new report builder file add a table.

3. Select a cell of the table, right click on it. Then select Insert>> subreport.

4. Right click on <subreport> in the cell>> select sub report properties>> Under "Use this report as sub report" - Browse and select "Requirement">>Click on OK.

5. Again, select the requirement sub report in the cell>>select subreport properties>>If you need any parameters then set parameters, else skip this step.

6. If not required delete other cells of the table. A textbox with a table inserted is available for you.

Thank you so much KVRKarthik It worked!

Now I have a problem while creating the table in the subreport, but I think that would be another topic.

Cheers!
