null rows in table

Good morning,

i'm new with power bi report buider.

I created a table and it gives me null rows..

I'm using a datasource from a published power bi report 

How can i delete them?

 

Another question.. if i'm using a power BI report... all the relationships between tables are set there... right?

So in the report builder i can use the fields without creating new relationdhip.. 

Thanks

Hi @Carlaf ,

1.When you want the data in your Power BI report and in your Report Builder report to be the same, it's not enough to connect to the dataset. You also need the query that's built on that dataset.

You could refer detail operation according the below article:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/paginated-reports/report-builder-shared-datasets 

And about blank values ,you could refer the below situdation:

2.Yes.When you connect to power bi dataset from power bi desktop/report builder, the connection mode is set as live connection which means you can't do any modification on the data model(e.g.: table relationship) .Also you can't see the relationship.

Thanks for all the informations 🙂

Another one: i've seen the example on how to take the query from power bi desktop... if for that query i want to create a parameter for giving a choice.... for example the name of the customer's...how can i set it there?
