Paginated Reports - Expression debugging method

[ancacocosco]

hello,

I am quite new at working with Paginated Reports (but quite experienced in PowerBI/DAX/SQL/Python). Once I create my dataset (in Report Builder) I am ready to add different elements to it. As an example I am adding a Text box, and I want to associate an Expression to what this textbox should display. For simple expressions is not too bad, but for more complex... not so obvious since all this is in VisualBasic. 

Is there a way I can use Visual Studio, or any other interface to connect to my dataset and then build / debug my expression? 

many thanks for pointing me in the right direction

Hi @ancacocosco ,

Based on your description, try to do this in Visual Studio using the XMLA endpoint.

Refer to the related solution below.
