How to use hidden fields in a Power BI Dataset in Power BI Paginated Reports

I connected a live Power BI dataset to Power BI Report Builder. This connected Power BI dataset includes some fields which are hidden. I want to use some of those hidden fields in Power BI Report Builder, but unfortunately I can't find those fields in Power BI Report Builder. Can someone help me with this issue?

Hi, @Mo6453 

 

According to your description, you want to use hidden fields in Power BI Report Builder, unfortunately, at present, Power BI Report Builder does not support the direct invocation of hidden fields, if you want to use hidden fields in Power BI Report Builder, you need to publish the field in Desktop before the field will be unhidden. You can submit an idea for here and the product team will take note of such a need.
