Filtered Reports - Power BI Report Builder/Word/CSV?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I am investigating the most appropriate way to create reports from my canvas app. Any help would be greatly appreciated with the following:

 

Requirement  -

 A PDF report created by the click of a button in the canvas app, this will pull data from two filtered galleries on the screen

The PDF needs to have 2 tables (One for each gallery)  and will require pagination as the second gallery has many rows.

 

Possible Options - 

 

Power BI Report Builder - This seems like the obvious choice however I am unsure how I would setup the filtering from the button and linking with Power BI?

 

Populate a Word DocumentI do not have access to premium connectors so unsure if this is achievable any other way?

 

Export CSV from Power AppsExporting into a CSV is relatively straightforward, however I need pagination a formatted tables in the final report. Would it be possible to create a flow to Export to CSV and then Import CSV to a Word Document table?

 

As always open to different options/approach's 

 

Thanks!

    Power BI 100% We have been able to draw from all of our applications to create a complete report on operations. Game changing drill downs and very quick views on data.

    Sounds good, the issue I have is I don’t want the end user to interact with Power BI directly. I need the end user to be able to click a button that generates the report

    Actually, you might be best to use Automate? It could pull the data and you could create an HTML email with your data points placed where it is needed. This could all be generated from the button inside the app.
