Grist08 What do you mean by setting up report within or if you can link? If you have Premium you can set up Paginated report in PowerBI.com and it will look similar to this:

Grist08 If you don't have premium, paginated reports aren't that useful really. You would only be able to work with them in Paginated Report Builder application directly, which is not the end product and NOT user friendly for final reporting.

Grist08 Why are you interested in Paginated Reports? Do you have a specific need you think it might help with? If you can give a bit of info around that I can try to let you know if it's worth building a business case for premium or if there's another way. Please @mention me in reply so I don't lose track of this thread.

We wanted to try this as part of a report automation solution. So we usually have a huge data sitting ne xcel which we link to our report on powerpoint as graph/donut charts etc. So we wanted to know if Power Bi can help us automate that. So by creating Paginated reports and linking it to Power BI was one of the solution we thought might work. And hence the question about - whether we can link it and make that work?
Thank you for taking the time
