7 TopicsPBIRS Subscription Parameter Reverts to “Leave NULL” After Saving
Product: Power BI Report Server (PBIRS) Version: 1.23.9316.13987 (May 2025 Release) Build: 15.0.1118.134 Environment: On‑premises PBIRS (Native Mode) When editing or creating a subscription for any paginated report (RDL), parameters set to “Use default value” automatically revert to “Leave NULL” after saving. This behavior is incorrect because the RDL has a valid default value (in many reports, the default is NULL to represent “ALL”). PBIRS should respect the report’s default, but it overwrites the subscription metadata immediately after saving. Recreated subscriptions, but the parameter still reverted to Leave NULL after saving. Edited existing subscriptions, but PBIRS overwrote Use default value immediately. Deleted and re-uploaded the RDL, yet the subscription parameter behavior did not change.

Hello, I am looking for ideas on how to replace Report Server and move to Fabric. Our organization is running an on-prem SQL Server/PBIRS/SSIS set-up. We have several hundred reports on that report server with dozens of subscriptions. Most are Paginated but some are PowerBI. We want to move entirely to the cloud. Our testing of MS Fabric has left us confident that the product can handle all of our needs with the exception of a Report Server replacement. I have seen others suggest that we should use the Fabric app to host all of our reports. We want to provide our line level staff with read-only access to reports. We see several problems with using Fabric to share reports: 1) A user viewing a report link is prompted to create a free Fabric license and is encouraged to start a premium capacity free trial even though we are already on a paid capacity (!!!), 2) They recieve several pop-up messages that are not appropriate for view-only staff (trial offer, release announcements), 3) They are then free to access their Fabric dashboard which has several buttons we don't want them having access to and I am unaware of any way to disable them (Real-Time, Monitoring, Learn, etc). Even if the staff is directed to a workspace app, they can use the Microsoft menu to navigate to their Fabric Dashboard now that they have a free license. We just want our domain users to have read-only access to reports we grant them access to (AND THAT'S IT!), so please let me know if I am missing something here. I noted that Sharepoint allows you to embed PowerBI reports in a page. This could be a potential solution. Any planned support for Paginated or "PowerBI Report Builder" reports? Curious to know how others are dealing with this issue! Is there a Fabric cloud based Report Server coming soon? Thank you!Solved2.2KViews2likes3CommentsI can't cancel my Microsoft Fabric account
Good afternoon I requested a Power BI Microsoft Fabric (FREE) account, and I want to close it. I tried to create a Power BI PRO account, but they won't let me, saying that this account is using another service. I just want to delete this Microsoft Fabric (FREE) account to create a Power BI PRO account. How can I do this? Can anyone help me?Solved1.3KViews1like2CommentsUnable to load Visuals on PBI
Hello team, I am using the Fabric Trial Capacity account and I have created a Power BI dashboard using a semantic model in the Fabric workspace. I have given the view access to the other person in my organization but he does not have trial capacity but has a free trial for power BI view. Still, he is unable to view the visuals and gets the error. I even gave him Admin rights of the workspace still, he was unable to access the dashboard. I have attached the screenshot for the same. Is it something like both parties should have premium accounts and then only they can view it? Not sure, just making my guess. Looking forward to your valuable help.657Views0likes1CommentUnable to connect Fabric Lakehouse using SQL Endpoint in MS Report Server
Unable to connect Azure SQL DB in Fabric from Report Server, I am getting below error. Whereas i am able to connect the same database from report builder. Error: Connection Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed while attempting to consume the pre-login handshake acknowledgement. This could be because the pre-login handshake failed or the server was unable to respond back in time. The duration spent while attempting to connect to this server was - [Pre-Login] initialization=52; handshake=14946;Solved4.6KViews0likes9CommentsGetting a working account of Microsoft Power BI
Okay, maybe mine is a rather unusual case, since I don’t have a specific problem with the way Power BI works, but with getting it started in the first place. The have the following issue: My job is mostly SEA (Google Ads as well as Microsoft Advertising), and currently I am creating reports for my colleagues and team leaders. Creating reports for Google Ads is reasonably simple, since Google Looker Studio (formerly known as Google Data Studio) is easy to use and freely available. Creating reports for Microsoft Advertising on the other hand is a bit more complicated: I can’t easily connect it to Google Looker Studio (unless I use third party tools, which I‘d prefer not to), so the second best option would be using a tool, app or program from the Microsoft ecosystem that fulfills a similar role like Looker Studio does for Google: Which, as far as I am aware of, would be Microsoft Power BI. Now the problem is that I seemingly can't get it to work, which is in no small part because of the serious dearth of actionable advice for beginners provided by Microsoft: When I try to start at https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-gb/landing/free-account/ , any attempt to actually *create* a free account in the first place is cut short immediately - apparently my company "doesn't allow the purchase of Microsoft Fabric Free", without any additional information provided. This is confusing for several reasons: 1. What role does Microsoft Fabric (free or not) play when it comes to getting access to certain tools or programs? After all, I am here for the Power BI and not for Fabric. 2. Why does a tool called "free" require a purchase? 3. What can I do to remedy that situation? Being told that our IT administrator should have additional information (spoiler: he is just as clueless as I am) isn't terribly helpful. I asked the support but three agents weren't really able to help. I dug a bit further and unearthed this site (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/troubleshoot/), but it doesn't really help either since my current problem #1 - me not being able to get access - apparently isn't even addressed here. Okay, off to the second option, enabling Microsoft Fabric: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/fabric/admin/fabric-switch This seems to be a tad more helpful, but since I am still a layman, I need it spelled out for me. If I am not mistaken, it works as follows: 1. In order to create reports for Microsoft Advertising, I need access to Microsoft Power BI. 2. In order to get access to Microsoft Power BI, I need Microsoft Fabric. 3. In order for my company to be eligible for Microsoft Fabric, our IT admin needs to be either a Microsoft 365 Global admin, a Power Platform admin, or a Fabric admin. In other words: just to gain access to a specific but rather basic function in the Microsoft ecosystem (a function that Google would provide for free in its own ecosystem), I have to navigate a convoluted maze of requirements and prerequisites without actually getting clear and succinct information what to do and where to start. If I didn't know better, I would assume that the people who designed this didn't *want* people to get the opportunity to use Power BI. So... does anyone know what I missed or where I took the wrong turn? Or is it indeed that complicated as it seems?Solved1.7KViews0likes2Comments
