    Hi nish18_1990 

    In Paginated Reports (Power BI Report Builder), HTML support is limited to basic text formatting and does not support rendering charts or complex visuals. So, creating HTML-based charts  is not possible.

    If you need charts in a paginated report, you can use the built-in chart controls such as bar, line, and pie charts, which are designed to work properly with pagination and export to PDF or PPT.

    If your requirement depends on HTML-based visuals, it would not be supported in Report Builder, and the report needs to be redesigned using native visuals.

    Thank you for being part of the Microsoft Fabric Community.

Hi  , Unfortunately, the HTML Content (Lite) visual doesn't support paginated exports natively. When exporting to PDF/PPT, Power BI captures a snapshot of the visual and won't split content across pages based on row count.

Your best options are:

  1. Paginated Reports (.rdl) — Rebuild the report in Power BI Report Builder. It's designed exactly for row-based pagination and exports cleanly to PDF/PPT. Requires PPU or Premium capacity.
  2. Native Table/Matrix visual — If HTML is only used for styling, a native table exports across multiple pages out of the box.

    If paginated export is a must, Paginated Reports is really the right tool here.
