Paginated Report as a drill down report
Hi,
Yes you can do that.
Example :
Report A Power BI report : Global sales for all customers (for example a grid with Customer Name, Customer ID, Sales amount...)
Report B SSRS classic paginated report : Sales for one customer (detailed by year, month... etc..)
Step 1:
In report B (SSRS) add report parameter @CustomerID that filter the SSRS dataset. Add what you want to your report page : charts, grids by year etc..
Publish your report to PBRS.
Test it on PBRS portal by passing CustomerID parameter in URL.
http://<yourserver>/reports/report/<Folder>/ReportB?CustomerID=1
(1 or an other value). Just for the test 😉
Step 2 :
In Report A (Power BI Destkop RS), you need to generate an URL to the SSRS report : http://<yourserver>/reports/report/<Folder>/ReportB?CustomerID=<someValueHere>
For a simple test, just add an URL button action and enter the URL previously tested.
Press the button (Ctrl+Click within Power BI Desktop RS) and verify that your browser successfully open the URL.
You also can obtain a dynamic URL with calculated DAX measure or calculated column depending your model.
Let me know if I can give you more details.

Denis
dpFr33 :Thanks for your inputs !!
Currently we are using Live Connection - SSAS Tabular Model to connect to power BI
and Report Builder to create paginated reports .
I m not familiar with URL parameters logic . Will be checking online for docs. Also It will be helpful if you can share some links which shows how to use power bi as summary rpeort and paginated as drill down report ..so that I can try and check for myself
Thanks
