Hi Friends
Hope youre staying safe
I just started building Paginated Reports and I have a very important question :
Is it possible to turn or reproduce an existing report in the Service to a Paginated Report ? I was asked to subscribe others to one of my reports but since it is connected to a Live SQL Azure , it is not possible... Alternative was to create a Paginated Report but I need a shortcut to reproduce it since there are 30 built in measures....
Any ideas ? Appreciate it Chiefs !!!
Solved! Go to Solution.

No, unfortunately this is not possible. The internal metadata and the rendering engines are completely different between these two types of reports. The only thing you can do is to run the performance analyzer in Power BI Desktop, you can then capture the query for a visual and paste that into a dataset for your paginated report. But then you would still have to rebuild the visualizations.
