How do we let customers build a custom paginated report in Power BI embedded?

[Christian_Key]

We embed Power BI for our customers. We would like to allow them to build their own paginated reports in embedded just like you can in the Power BI service. How do we do this?

Thanks,

Christian

How doers Microsoft do this in the service? There are partners who have managed to build this functionality as well so it must be possible somehow...

Hi @Christian_Key,

As of now, Power BI Embedded does not support a Report Builder-like experience directly in the embedded environment for paginated reports. There is no in-browser editor or UI for creating paginated reports (RDL files) like the one in the Power BI Service (which is still limited and in preview).

Use Power BI Report Builder (a desktop app) to design paginated reports (.rdl files). Upload these to a workspace in a Power BI Premium capacity or Fabric capacity. Then, you can embed these paginated reports using Power BI Embedded APIs.

Please refer to below documentation and let me know if this helps resolve your query?

One workaround is to let them define parameters or filters through a front-end interface, then use those inputs to generate reports on the backend using the Power BI Report Builder or APIs.
