Power BI paginated report with subreport that will not display

[lgary]

Hi all. I have a paginated report that includes a subreport, but the subreport will not display. I get the error: Subreport could not be shown. Both reports are in the same Power BI workspace. Both reports run separately, but not together. I've double, triple, quadruple checked the parameters and they're all correct. Is there something else that I should check but missing?

Hi,@lgary 

I am glad to help you.  

According to your description, you want to know why Power BI paginated report with subreport that will not display? 

If I understand you correctly, then you can refer to my solution. 

Regarding the problem you encountered, we suggest you re-create a simple paginated report and subreport in the same workspace, and set a simple parameter at the same time to see whether the two reports can run at the same time, and whether the subreport can be displayed normally.  

If so, it means that your creation steps are fine, then the reason for the problem may be that there is a problem with the semantic model. Then you can re-create a semantic model and follow the same steps to create a paginated report and a subreport, and then test again to see if the problem still exists. 

Here's a related document that I hope will help you:Troubleshoot subreports in Power BI paginated reports - Power BI | Microsoft Learn 

I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.

I was able to successfully create a simple report with a subreport. So I think I'll recreate the original report and subreport and hopefully that'll solve the problem. The semantic model is used in other reports, so I won't be able to recreate that so easily. Thanks!
