Can someone suggest me some courses or online resources to learn Report builder. I'm aware of paginated reports in a day course but interested to know if there are any others. submitted by /u/InterestingRemote720 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi guys, On an on premise report server you can just adjust the config files to get the PDF reporting extension to spit out 300 DPI reports, however with the online version it doesn't appear there is a way to accomplish this. The problem is we are needing to generate our sales quotes with high quality images, and at 96 DPI (what the report server uses) the print outs are ugly looking. Is there any way to accomplish this besides using a different reporting solution altogether? submitted by /u/MentalRip1893 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Another department has shared their report's semantic model with me (after weeks of teeth pulling) and I can finally get the data via "power bi dataset" but even with preview mode enabled it will only get the data in a live query. I'm just happy to have the data and willing to make it work but when converting measures from my test data I can no longer perform MEDIANX and averagex on what was a column is now a locked measure I can't even read the dax on. If there's some DAX magic to make measures on measures that would be cool (tried for way too long last night) or if there's a way to get arou ..read more

Newer to PowerBI - I'm trying to figure out how to sort a tornado chart by the left side (as shown), but then leaving that static and sorting the right-side descending as that would be a tiebreaker. In the example you can see 4 bars are tied at 100, I need to keep in descending order of 181 down to 61 (on the left) but then need any ties sorted descending as well. I labelled the 4 bars of 100 to show what order they should be in. Alternatively, another visual that could do this, so I've not found one that does this. https://preview.redd.it/o64ovc8t8awc1.png?width=689&format=png&au ..read more

I've been implementing Calculation Groups in my models to reduce the number of measures needed. However, I am not able to use it properly when I want to display a Callout Value and a Reference Label in a Card. Let's say I need to display Sales YTD in the callout value and YoY % in the reference label. For the Callout Value, I would do the following: - Place the Measure Sales Quantity in Data Section - Place the Calculation Group in the Filter Visual (this group has MTD, YTD, YoY %...) and select YTD Ok, now moving on to the Reference Label Section, I am not sure how to do it, I will also plac ..read more

I need to create a measure - to use in a different measure. I need to calculate the sum of Membership (which is easy). And it needs to ignore the row context (which is State). But is does need to resond to slicers (Segment). The versions I've tried so far work if I out the number on a card at the page level. But if I put it in a row (grouped by state), I get the state level values (different for each state). submitted by /u/comish4lif [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello everyone, I'm preparing for an eight-minute presentation for my daughter's sixth-grade math class as part of their career fair, and I'm hoping to showcase Power BI's capabilities with a dashboard that's engaging and understandable for kids. I’m looking for something visually appealing that steers away from complex topics like financial data, and leans more towards fun topics that would capture the interest of sixth graders—think subjects like video games, popular movies, science facts, or any cool, age-appropriate data visualizations. Does anyone have access to, or know of any public Po ..read more

The Scan Barcode feature is very powerful feature for filtering reports on touchscreen smaller size interfaces (such as mobile phones or mobile barcode scanners). Is the scan barcode feature also available in Power BI Embedded reports or any plans to have this available? submitted by /u/cyclist00752 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

So I think my question is now: I have a report that updated monthly… I want to save the report for each month in a folder within the workspace. But when I refresh the data the generic report that I am saving from will refresh but also each separate monthly report refreshes as well. Is there a way to prevent the monthly reports from refreshing data? Like can I lock them so that the visuals never change even if I refresh the source data? submitted by /u/Johnny_Hamcheck [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I have a matrix visual with months on the columns and categories on the rows. I'm trying to rank sales by category for all months, so that category A would be ranked across all months, independent of the sales in other categories. The measure I've created is below: RANKX( ALLSELECTED(Sales[MonthAbbrev]) ,CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Amount]))) [MonthAbbrev] is the 3-letter abbreviation of the month name (i.e. Jan, Feb, Mar, etc). When I insert this measure into the values field of the matrix visual, it shows 1 across every month/category. If I replace [MonthAbbrev] with [Month] in both the measure ..read more
