Drill from Paginated report to PowerBi report (published in service)

[bhalicki]

Hi all,

Is it possible to drill-through from a PowerBi paginated report, to a standard report published in PowerBi service?  I have only ever seen drill-through enabled either from paginated to paginated report, or PowerBi report to report, but not from one technology to the other.

Kind regards,

Ben.

Hi @bhalicki 

1.Power BI does not support native drill-through between Paginated Reports and standard Power BI reports in the service. Drill-through only works within the same type (Paginated <<Paginated or Power BI << Power BI).

2.The workaround is exactly what I described: use a URL action in the Paginated Report to open a Power BI report, passing filter values in the query string (e.g., ?filter=Table/Field eq 'Value'). That way, users click in the Paginated Report and land in the Power BI report with the right filters applied.

So the guidance is accurate: no direct cross-drill exists today, only navigation via parameterized URLs.

Thanks @rohit1991 , that'll do what I need.
Kind regards, Ben.
