PERFORMANCE ISSUES IN PAGINTED REPORT BUILDER
We have a materialized view in Databricks with about 1.5 million rows and 80+ columns. On top of that, I’ve created a semantic model in Power BI, and a paginated report that shows essentially all 80+ columns (so it’s returning the full 1.5 million rows). The report also has around 24 filters/parameters. Because of this combination (large dataset + many columns + many filters), the paginated report is taking a long time to load. The main dataset is generated using the Query Designer, which produces a large: `EVALUATE SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(...)` So far, to improve performance I have: 1. **Created lookup tables for parameter datasets** Instead of retrieving dropdown values from the large flattened dataset, I created lookup tables and updated parameter datasets to use these tables. In the Databricks view we have 3 date columns: **D1, D2, D3**. In the Power BI semantic model I’ve joined these to `dim_date`. In the paginated report I want to expose 6 date parameters: **StartD1, EndD1, StartD2, EndD2, StartD3, EndD3**. I have three main questions: **Q1. How should I handle these 6 date parameters in the main dataset?** Each date column has its own start/end range; I’d like an approach that is reasonable to maintain. **Q2. Is the current approach (one big flattened table from the view) the right one?** We actually started with a star schema in the Power BI semantic model and then moved to a single flattened view, as suggested by a senior data engineer. The issue was that many of the 80+ columns required calculated columns and a lot of transformations, so we pushed all of that logic into the Databricks view instead. **Q3. How else can I improve performance?** Right now the paginated report is effectively selecting all rows and almost all columns, with 24 filters on top. I’m looking for design patterns or best practices (e.g. alternative modelling, pre‑aggregation, splitting datasets, etc.) that would make this scenario perform better. Any guidance or examples would be really appreciated.
Paginated Report - Missing horizontal scroll bar
We have a paginated report that is missing a horizontal scroll bar. (Unable to scroll left to right) When we acknowledge the "General" information banner at the top of the screen the horizontal scroll bar appears. The image below highlighted by the red box indicates the information banner. I can only show the top part of the report due to security reasons. The paginated report was created by importing a stored procedure from MySQL. Any thoughts how to disable the information banner?
Paginated Report
Hello everyone, I have a Paginated Report that works just fine on the Desktop App but if i publish the report to the powerbi Service and want to use it, i get the error message, "Unable to render paginated report A data source used by this report returned an error.

" I get the error message when i select my filters and then click on view report. If i want to get only one customer at the filter the reports works but when i want to see all customers at one i get the error. In the Desktop App "Power BI Report Builder" i dont get this issue at all. How can i resolve this error? Any suggestions?paginated report - drilldown, drill down, drill-down functionality setup
Posting for future reference. Found the information hard to find and search hits intermixed with drill-through functionality. Hence the title of this post "drilldown, drill down, drill-down" to help folks with a direct search hit. In short found this youtube video the most usefull, drilldown report in paginated report builder The microsoft official pages referenced throughout the forums points to: Drilldown action in a paginated report (Power BI Report Builder) which points to Tables in paginated reports (Report Builder) which points to Add an expand or collapse action to a Report Builder paginated report Now the key help here is the term ToggleItem which is found only in the 3rd child link above. Also do not make the mistake like I did of looking at Textbox cells. We are wanting to work our way up the children of the multi level group hierarchy. Each child group references its parent group. Set Hidden (Visibility) to True to set the initial toggle state to unexpanded (+) Youtube drilldown report in paginated report builder by SKRTDATAMUSIC (thanks bro 🙂 Screenshots
Multi-Column Layout in SubReport (paginated reports)
I have an overarching report that consists of a cover page, a subreport that is tabular (with tablix data region) and then another subreport that consists of a 2-column layout (like newspaper) with a List data region. The subreport renders in 2-columns just fine by itself, but when nesting it into the larger report as a subreport AND rendering in Print Layout, the subreport only populates data in one column. How can I achieve this?
