Automate Exporting Paginated Report

Hello, 

I have created a paginated report in Power BI Report Builder. I have made it to when I run the report you have to set two parameters first, which are a date and market parameter. 

Is there a way to automate the exporting to PDF file by each different market? I have about 60 markets and need to figure out a way to automate the exporting process. 

 

I have looked at the exporttofile API but am not sure how to send the request, poll, and get the file. If there is a reference to this that would very much help. 


If anyone has a way please let me know.

    As far as I know currently it is not possible to get this done. I think that it is being worked on but I cannot confirm this 100%

    HI VOx15,

    As GilbertQ said, you can't direct export different paginated reports based on different market values.
    For your requirement, I'd like to suggest you try to set a multiple-value parameter with 'in' operator in your report then you can use a specific parameter to export merged reports.

    Add a multi-value parameter to a Report
