What’s New in Paginated Report Authoring?

The new paginated authoring experience is designed to simplify the process of creating complex reports. With an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, you can easily design reports that span multiple pages. Whether you’re adding headers, footers, text boxes, or images, the Power BI service now offers a streamlined experience to make your report creation process both efficient and effective.

Key Features:

  • Editor View and Preview: The new authoring experience includes an Editor view where you can define the structure of your report, and a Preview that renders the report with sample data. This dual-view approach ensures that your reports are both accurate and visually appealing before you publish them.

  • Enhanced Design Capabilities: The ability to add headers, footers, and images gives you greater control over the final look of your reports. For example, you can include page numbers, execution times, or even company logos to personalize your reports.

  • Parameter Creation: A significant addition is the ability to create parameters directly within the Power BI service. Parameters allow you to create dynamic reports where users can input values to filter data, making your reports more interactive and tailored to individual needs.

Availability

It’s important to note that this new feature is currently not available on Sov clouds. However, it will be included once the feature becomes generally available.

Conclusion

The new paginated report authoring experience in Power BI represents a significant leap forward in report design. Whether you’re a seasoned data analyst or new to Power BI, this feature empowers you to create professional, detailed reports with minimal effort. As Power BI continues to evolve, it’s exciting to see how these tools will enable more informed decision-making across organizations.

Import Microsoft Planner Data into Power BI Using Power Automate and SharePoint

Image
  In this guide, we’ll cover how to bring task data from Microsoft Planner into Power BI for analysis, using Power Automate and SharePoint as intermediaries. Since Power BI currently lacks a direct Planner connector, Power Automate lets us fetch the data from Planner and save it to SharePoint as a JSON file, enabling Power BI to access it on a scheduled basis. Prerequisites Before you begin, ensure you have: Access to Microsoft Planner  – to view and retrieve Planner task data. Power Automate License  – access to create and run Power Automate flows. SharePoint Access  – a SharePoint site to store JSON files. Using SharePoint simplifies the setup, as it doesn’t require a premium Power BI or Power Automate license. Power BI Desktop  – to set up and configure the JSON data connection and publish the report. Microsoft 365 Account  – for authentication, as we’ll be connecting Power BI to SharePoint through your organization’s Microsoft 365 credentials. Step 1: S...
