Producing multiple reports within a paginated report based on parameter selections.

I have a working paginated report that allows a teacher to select a student and view tables of data from different datasets within a powerbi semantic model data source.

 

However I havent been able to adapt it to allow multiple values (student names) to be selected within the paramter.  I want users to be able to generate separate reports for each selected student, each containing the same layout but with data specific to that student, and with a page break between each report.

 

Is this possible?

 

Any tips hugely appreciated.

 

I have tried:

Adding the tick to allow multiple values on the parameter and updating each dataset filter to this (0).  I only see the one student.

I have tried building the report by inserting a list, adding groups and pagebreaks.  But still only one student is shown and lists dont work with multiple datasets (according to ChatGpt).

    Hi pconridge ,

    It is indeed possible to create a Power BI paginated report that allows multiple student selections and generates a separate report with page breaks for each student.
    For more information you can refer to the following link ( more details in the left filter window) :

    Thank you Anonymous .  I have been carefully though the Microsoft Learn website, watched many many youtube videos but I am still stuck.  Could you give me an idea of what to search for, some tips on what i should be trying.

     

    As you can see in the screen shot attached I have a working paginated report with a parameter that allows teachers to select and view the report for single students.  I now want to adapt it to allow multiple selections with a separate report with page breaks for each student.  

     

    Any tips on ways forward much appreciated.
