URL link to Paginated Reports

Anonymous — Sun, 06 Oct 2019 17:27:12 GMT

Hi, It seems For Image--> Actions -->URL option is still not available for PBIRS (Jan 2019).

From PowerBIRS, I want a link to Paginated Reports using Button or Image. So how do I acheive this in Report Server ?

I do not want to display whole URL, instead 'Click Here', 'Data' as Title/Label because I have a plan to pass parameters to Paginated Reports.

The May 2019 (or later) releases have an option of WebUrl in the Action setting for images and buttons.

Hi all,

I'm using the URL to Paginated Reports from my Power BI reports, but there is one thing I cannot make work and I can't figure out why. I want to pass a value to a Boolean parameter - I tried true/false, I tried 0/1, nothing works. The rest of my text/int parameters work fine, but the Boolean is being ignored. Has anyone managed to make Boolean ones work in URL?

TIA

Yes, it works fine for me passing in either true/false or True/False. If I try passing in anything else like 0/1 I get an error about the type being incorrect for the variable type being incorrect and if I alter the name of the parameter I get an error about trying to set a variable which does not exist. So I can't think how your url parameter would be ignored

Hi d_gosbell,

Thanks for your prompt feedback!

Actually I'm not sending URLs to a Report Server. I have a Power BI report published on the Power BI Service that redirects to a Paginated Report published on the Power bI Service as well. Probably that's where the issue is.

I tried with True/False and true/false, but nothing. I don't get error message, but the value is not passed (I try to pass False).

I'm not sure whether it's because I have a default value =true set to this Parameter, but again, for the rest of the Parameters I have, it works OK.

Thanks again!

Hello d_gosbell I see this post is pretty old, but maybe you can still help me out.

Im trying to do the same (link into a paginated report), but cannt seem to get the URL correctly.

Actual PBI url: https://app.powerbi.com/groups/XXXXXX/rdlreports/XXXXXX?experience=power-bi

I tried adding my parameter at the end, since it already has "?experience"

https://app.powerbi.com/groups/XXXXXX/rdlreports/XXXXXX?experience=power-bi&luxk_parent_id=RP-1387

This got me into the report page, but not into the specific report.

Any help would be great. Thanks!

This thread is based around the on-prem report server so the syntax is different.

if that luxk_parent_id is a parameter it will need to be prefixed with rp:

eg.

https://app.powerbi.com/groups/XXXXXX/rdlreports/XXXXXX?experience=power-bi&rp:luxk_parent_id=RP-1387

For the service you can use the url format outlined here URL parameters in paginated reports in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn - this doc includes
