POWERBI PAGINATED REPORT BUILDER SOFTWARE

Pinhole-sized fields of view (Reporting) don’t cut it, and neither do spotlight-sized fields of view (Tableau). Yes this represents tremendous progress! The purpose of BI is to see what is going on, and then use that vision to drive improvement.

Power BI marries Interactivity with an underlying Analytical Model, providing the most comprehensive field of view.

Tableau was a breakthrough of Interactivity for the business, expanding the field of view considerably – but still insufficient.

This led to a proliferation of reports AND an overwhelming dependence on Excel.

Reporting only provided the business with a pinhole-sized field of view.

This wasn’t because Reporting was better – it was just because Reporting was easier.

For a long time, Reporting was the dominant force in BI, with Interactive Analysis a distant second.

Which might not be a huge issue, but that’s just extra work piling up, and, besides, there would be no integrated security (in the sense that it’ll be for the report developer to add query conditions to do data access validations)Īnalytics Architecture Azure Business Analysis CanvasApps CRM Dataflows Design & Architecture DevOps Diagrams Dynamics Dynamics365 Dynamics CRM Dynamics Portals EasyRepro EZChange Field Service Flow Git information technology life and work Microsoft Teams MVP Patterns PCF Portals PowerApps PowerAutomate Power BI Power Platform PowerPlatform PowerShell PowerStorm Scrum software architecture Software Development SSIS TCS Expressions TCS Tools Thoughts Tips Training Virtual Entities Xamarin XRM Sure we might use Azure SQL Database, but that would mean syncing CDS data to the database. This brings me back to the list of reporting/document-generating options I could use with model-driven applications… and the only working option right now is, actually, SSRS. It’s kind of hard to believe, but that’s why it’s called “preview”. In a way, that’s an extreme example of why preview features should not be used in production – they are not covered by any SLA-s, so, in the situations like this, preview features can be disabled. I tried it, id did not work, so I was looking for what could have gone wrong (especially since I did try it with the SQL Management Studio about a month ago, and all worked well)… till I suddenly spotted this warning: The problem with CDS data source, at least right now, is exactly that it’s in preview Which immediately brings up a question of how do we actually build paginated reports for CDS? With SSRS, we had report authoring tools for Dynamics 365, now we don’t have those, but we do have Common Data Service (Preview) datasource.ģ.

We are not talking about a new reporting format – we are talking about a different engine to run those reports, and, also, we are talking about a different tool we’d be using to build them. And that’s where Power BI Report Builder comes in, since it allows us to store those report in Power BI service: Now we have Power BI reports, since they would be using Power BI Service… but they are still using rdl file format. You would also recognize the file extension:Īlthough, to be fair, what we used to call SSRS reports were, really, reports utilizing rdl file format, and they would be running on the SSRS server.

You would recognize the interface, even thought it’s a separate tool now: Paginated reports are, essentially, SSRS reports Luckily, it turned out we might be fine on the licensing side, so, having looked at it quickly this morning, I am now starting to realize a few things:ġ. There are a few reasons I still have not, really, touched Power BI (beyond some very basic things just to see what it’s capable of), but, having looked at my reporting options recently, I figured Power BI paginated reports might be what’s required on the project.
