Paginated Report Matrix with Dynamic Columns Causing PDF Export Issues
Hi everyone, I'm working on a Paginated Report (RDL) that contains a matrix. The matrix columns are grouped by Product Type, so the number of columns grows dynamically depending on the data returned. Scenario Rows contain summary data. Columns are grouped by Product Type. The number of Product Types varies and can become quite large. As more Product Types are returned, the matrix expands horizontally. Issue 1: Managing Page Width in PDF Export When exporting the paginated report to PDF, the dynamically generated columns can exceed the page width. Questions What is the recommended approach for handling matrices with dynamically growing columns when exporting to PDF? Is there a way to automatically scale the matrix to fit the PDF page width? Are there any best practices for: Switching between portrait and landscape layouts? Splitting columns across multiple pages? Using page breaks for column groups? Handling a variable number of dynamic columns? Issue 2: Extra Blank Page Appearing in PDF Export In addition to the width issue, each report page is followed by an extra blank page when exported to PDF. Current Settings Report has a fixed page size. Margins appear to be within normal limits. Matrix width changes dynamically based on Product Type values. Questions Can dynamic matrix width cause additional blank pages during PDF export? What are the common causes of a blank page being generated after every report page? What should I check to identify whether the issue is caused by: Report body width Matrix width Rectangles/containers Page size and margins Hidden objects extending beyond the printable area Expected Outcome I would like the report to: Export to PDF without creating extra blank pages. Handle a varying number of Product Type columns gracefully. Maintain readability even when the matrix expands horizontally. Any guidance, best practices, or examples would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Plan module (used to be powertable), single select columns becomes blank when sorted.
We have used powertable before, and have migrated into the plan module to have our master data, including our Employee table When sorting by ReportingTo the EmployeeName column becomes blank. I have added the configuration of the EmployeeName but its similar to Initials that is not affected Does anyone have any idea of what is going on? Had it affected all single select column the error had been consistant, but EmployeeName and Initials are both using the same jira.user table in its look up.
Fabric Trial Activation Screen Appears but Trial Is Not Available
Hello Microsoft Fabric Community, I am a BCA student from India and I am currently learning Microsoft Fabric for educational purposes. I need access to Fabric features such as Lakehouse, Notebooks, and Data Engineering for hands-on practice. I am facing a confusing issue while trying to activate the Microsoft Fabric trial. My Power BI individual trial is already active and shows 59 days remaining. However, when I click "Start Fabric trial", I get the "Activate your 60-day free Fabric trial capacity" screen. The activation screen shows: - A 60-day free Fabric trial capacity - Trial capacity region: Default – Central India - An "Activate" button However, after proceeding, I receive this message: "Your Power BI trial is active Your free Power BI trial gives you 60-day access to Power BI paid features. A Fabric trial isn't available for your account. See the Microsoft documentation for eligibility requirements." This is confusing because the previous screen allows me to activate a 60-day Fabric trial capacity, but the next message says that a Fabric trial is not available for my account. I have also already confirmed that: - Users can create Fabric items is enabled. - Users can try Microsoft Fabric paid features is enabled. - My Power BI trial is active. - I am using a newly created tenant. - I am trying to use Fabric for learning and educational purposes. I do not have a college-issued student email/Student ID that I can use for verification. Could someone please clarify: 1. Why is the Fabric trial activation screen appearing if my account is not eligible? 2. Is my newly created tenant too new for a Fabric trial? 3. Is there any legitimate way to enable a Fabric trial capacity for this account? 4. If I am not eligible, what is the recommended way for a student to practice Fabric features such as Lakehouse and Notebooks? I would really appreciate any guidance, as I need Fabric hands-on practice for my learning. Thank you.
Datagateway stuck at "Failed to sign in. Please Verify your credentials and try again."
Im droping this here as i didnt see anywhere where this had been addressed. When trying to signin to the data gateway the app freezes and says "Failed to sign in. Please Verify your credentials and try again." The credentials are good and everything was fine prior to update. I got this after updateing the datagateway. The app freezes up and you have to force close. The work around is that you click signin options prior to entering email select these options and it will redirect you to your browser to login and wont lock up hope this someone
