Solved: Creating a report from a scratch using a published...

ROG · ‎06-21-2022

Hi guys,

Can you please help me understand the difference between the options below?

I want to create a report from a dataset in PBI Service, but I'm not sure what's the difference between starting from scratch or as a formatted table.

Thank you.

"From scratch" starts a blank report with the option to create regular Power BI charts.

"As formatted table" is a new option that creates a basic paginated report that can be used in the service or exported in a variety of format:
