Embedding Reports with Paginated visual in Power BI Embedded Playground

I have an issue with my report that contains a Paginated Report visual with a shared power bi dataset as a data source:

When I provide the token, embed url and tenant id myself - the report is rendering fine but the visual displays an error "This report contains invalid or unsupported data sources".

BUT! When I pick the option "Select Report" - everything works and the Paginated Report visual renders just fine.

So it seems to be possible, but I do not understand what am I doing wrong?

 

To generate the embed token I'm using this service:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/embed-token/generate-token

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @Anonymous,

AFAIK, Paginated reports (rdl) don’t have a dataset so it may face some issue when you bind embed token with its reports and datasets. Did you confirm paginated contents have been included in the corresponding report which you used to generate tokens?

Embed Token - Generate Token - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Docs

In addition, you can also check the official document about embedded paginated reports.

Thank you for the reply.

Yes, I did everything according to the documentation - I have included both report id's in the embed token request. Also, both reports share the same shared dataset as the data source.

There is RLS but I disabled it and it still did not work.
