Create a Paginated report using report builder which has a Direcr Query data source

Hi,

 

I'm tryign to create a Paginated Report to link use in my PowerBI dashboard, using an existing table visual that is in the report, for users to download and proint in it's entirity, using filter selections.

 

In PowerBI, I have used Performance Analyser to generate the DAX that creates the table.

When I paste this Query into PowerBI Report Builder, I get an error message telling me it is unable to handle the Direct Query/SQL part of the query, and is unable to create the report.

 

Are there any other options that would alloow me to create a Paginated Report in PowerBI using Direct Query, along with the DAX?

 

Many thanks

@dosania , there is a query builder, which allows you to select the columns you need from the give dataset for your paginated report, is that not helping?

I have additional calculated measures that I need to bring in to the report which aren't available to me in the columns available in query builder. Am I able to create these measures directly in Report Builder?

Hi @dosania ,

 

I was able to successfully use DAX to return tables like this.

Maybe you can refer to these documents to see if it works.
