I still don't understand why this would be necessary.

    Hi lbendlin 

    This requirement is important as detailed below.

     

    I have paginated report (Power BI Builder Report) that is using Power BI Dataset as a source.

     

    Power BI Report needs to be updated quite frequently (because of chnages in business requirement) and report is managed with suffix as V1 , V2 etc.

     

    And Paginated report need to be referered to most updated version.

    Just to get rid of version gap, requirement is to diplay the name of the Dataset name in the report so that people will know Paginated report is in sync with Power BI.

     

    Just to display Power BI Dataset name in Paginated report, i need to add Dataset Name in Power BI existing or new Dataset so that Paginated report will refer that easily.

     

    I dont mind, if you have any other way out to display Datasource name in Paginated report.

    My ultimate goal is to display name of the Power BI dataset name in Paginated report which it is refering to.

     

    Hope that clarifies 🙂

     

    Please suggest!!

    Thanks
