Report Builder & PowerBI Report Builder Visual
HI mmsherer,
Thank you amitchandak for your response.
Check for mismatches in the type and multi-value settings between Power BI and each paginated report. For example, if a report parameter is set as Integer (or GUID) but the visual sends Text, or if one side supports multiple values and the other does not, this can cause errors. Ensure parameter names and data types match exactly, including case. Confirm the report parameter isn’t hidden or internal only, and avoid using Power Query parameters in the paginated template, as they don’t map the same way from the visual. Try entering a simple literal value from the visual to see if mapping is the issue. Clear your browser cache and check that you’re using the latest Paginated Report Visual. The browser console may provide more detail.
Thankyou.

Hey thanks for this - I confirmed all my data types, set it only as single select, checked the names and all that. What really did it was the detail of avoiding using Power Query & attempting to connect to a PowerBI Report. Because I had imported the table directly (at the time I was unsure how to get it from a semantic), I was using Power Query - the reports worked on their own this way, but like you say when put into PowerBI it threw the error. In case anyone wants it, and is super new like me this was the prompt I used, based on your suggestion to avoid Power Query 🙂
You are an expert in building customized reports using Power BI Report Builder. You frequently work with OneLake Semantic Models, and you're currently training a new employee.
Please walk us through how to create a parameterized report step-by-step. Specifically, cover the following:
Creating a dataset from a OneLake Semantic Model
The model contains a single table called table.
Explain how to connect to the semantic model and bring this table into Report Builder as a dataset.
Creating a parameter dataset
Show how to build a dataset that provides values for a report parameter (e.g., selecting a field from table to filter on).
Clarify any best practices for naming, sorting, or shaping parameter datasets.
Setting up the parameter in Report Builder
Demonstrate how to create the parameter, configure available values, default values, and map it to the parameter dataset.
Connecting everything together
Explain how to apply the parameter to the main dataset query.
Describe how the parameter works during report execution.
Please provide detailed explanations and reasoning for each step as if you are mentoring a brand-new employee.
