Power BI Report Builder- Report having multiple sheets

[JitK]

Hi All,

  Did anyone developed a report using Power BI Report Buider having multiple sheets?. Like in Excel , One Excel file can have multiple sheets and each sheet connect to seperate Oracle Sql query and fetch data in same sheet. For Example, Report will have two sheets , one for Employee details which internally fetch output from oracle sql query (Select * from Employee), and second for Departments details which internally fetch output from second oracle sql query (Select * from Departments) and so on...I know that it is possible in Power BI Desktop but I am looking for anyone who can help me get it done in Power BI Paginated Report Builder.

Thanks,

JitK

Ok, say you have a data like

CompanyKey	QtyKg
A	1
A	2
B	2
B	3
C	2

and would like to show sum(QtyKg) for each Company in separate pages/sheets

First, add a matrix and design it how you like it.

right click over "CompanyKey" group under "Rows groups" and select "Group properties" and then "Page breaks" tab and click "Between each instance of a group"

By doing this, your report shows your report as an each group on separate pages. And if you export to excel, on separate sheets. 

But, for excel there is still a problem. sheet names are default to Sheet1, Sheet2.... and son on. To rename those sheets; click on to select "CompanyKey" group under "Rows groups" and then at the right you will see "Properties" pane. Drill to "Group -> Group -> Page Name" property and open expression combo box, then set what ever you want for the expression which will be shown as "Sheet names" in excel.

Hi, as per the conversation i understood that, we will have two more sheets in downloaded excel fle. But how it is looking when we open this paginated report from workspace, i mean can we see multiple pages in the report or only one page in report?

thank you

Could you please elaborate more on @For single dataset, but multiple sheets, it has different steps. I am looking for it. Appreciate!

You should design subreport first, and publish powerbi service.

Then, on main report, insert subreport item, right click over greyed out subreport and select "Subreport properties". In general tab you will see "Use this report as a subreport". Then browse your workspace and select previously published subreport. This should work.

This is for two or more dataset and exporting to multiple sheets.

For single dataset, but multiple sheets, it has different steps.

Hi Saglamtimur

 Thank you. I checked for the subreport option in power bi report builder and it is disabled for me always. I am using version 15.0.1517.0. Please let me know in which version this option is enabled and appreciate if you provide me step by step guide for creation of subreport which works same way like one report contain multiple sheets.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks

First add a report which contains Employee table, then add a sub-report within the same report for Departments. Then add pagebreak between main report (under table/tablix properties) and subreport. Then export to Excel, you will see two seperate sheets.
