Specify default report name for exported paginated report

[zjd4atcdc]

I would love to be able to specify a default name for a paginated report when exported to PDF, Excel, whatever.  I would consider this BASIC functionality.  But I can't find any way to make this work. Does anyone have a solution for this?  I can't believe Microsoft still hasn't learned it's lesson about enabling basic functionality for PowerBI and paginated reports. 😐

Hi @zjd4atcdc ,

Are you currently using PowerBI Service or Power BI Report Server?

We are publishing the paginated report to the PowerBI Service and then using a URL from a non-paginated PowerBI report to render the paginated report and print it. I'd like to send a default name to the report or dynamically create the report name within the report during the rendering.  https://app.powerbigov.us/groups/xxxxx/rdlreports/xxx?rp:Site=UCSF&rdl:format=ACCESSIBLEPDF

Thanks Lucien but this doesn't help me. I should have been more specific but I need to specify a default name dynamically when I create the report using a URL from a PowerBI desktop report published to the service. See this:

Hi @zjd4atcdc ,

You could use print:
