How to Retrieve Total Page number from the Sub Report

Hi Team ,

There is a requirement where we need to show the total page number of the sub report in the parent report for paginated reports using  Power BI report builder .

 

Could you please suggest any good solution for implementing the same ?

 

Thanks & Regards,

Nitish

    Public Shared SubReportPageCount As Integer
    
    Public Function GetSubReportPageCount() As Integer
        Return SubReportPageCount
    End Function
    
    Public Sub SetSubReportPageCount(ByVal pageCount As Integer)
        SubReportPageCount = pageCount
    End Sub

     

     

    In your subreport, create a text box and set its value to the following expression

     

     

    =Code.SetSubReportPageCount(Globals!OverallTotalPages)

     

     

    In the parent report, create a text box and set its value to the following expression

     

     

    =Code.GetSubReportPageCount()

     

     

     

    or you could use a parameter, "SubReportTotalPages" in the subreport with a value of =Globals!OverallTotalPages and pass the parameter to the parent report by adding the same named parameter to the parent report and set the value to the subreport's parameter. 

    In the parent report you could then just reference the parameter

     

    =Parameters!SubReportTotalPages.Value
