Hi,

 

I have a paginated report with a column with four distinct values. I want to create a flow to filter paginated report four times and export the report filtered. Can i use automate and "Export To File for Paginated Reports" object to do that?

    Navigating thought the documentation i have seen this post:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/paginated-reports/parameters/report-builder-parameters

     

    Then, you can create a parameter with Power BI Report Builder (I have followed this tutorial to achive that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0BnZJwuuLM&ab_channel=AnalyticswithNags) and then, you can filter the report with this parameter. In the "Export To File for Paginated Reports" object you can call to the parameter and the value you want to filter.

    I only have a problem with this solution, you cant edit the report with power bi Service from the moment you edit the report itself with report builder. As you can see, there is no option to change between Visualization/Edition

    But, as you can see here, we cant do nothing with it:
