I have created a ssrs report with parameters and published it in the server. I want the file to be downloaded without rendering the file. Does anyone know how to achieve to download the power bi report builder output file without rendering the file?
You can download the report definition file in Power BI Report Server/SSRS in two ways. In the service:
And on the SSRS/PBIRS, find the report and select the download option
These files are the report definition (RDL) files, not the rendered versions. You can then use these in Power BI Report Builder or SSDT to alter them.

I have a PowerBI Online dashboard with 24 tabs that all need to be exported to PDF as a single document. I would like to be able to download a full workbook of the 24 charts without having to export them manually one by one. Is this possible in PowerBI Online? Is there a way to build a process in PowerAutomate if not? Thanks for the help!
PowerBI Chart Sample
Right now when I click the "Export to DPF" button it is only allowing me to export the chart that is visible (see image - only allows the visible Chart 4 to be exported but not the others).I would like it to export all charts 1-4 in one PDF workbook.
are you using a power bi report server or uploading to a power bi portal because when you click on file-> export-> export pdf on a power bi desktop, your reports return to pdf without any problems. I even tried this for you.
We have designed the report which has Pie and bars chart would need to download the entire report as an excel with the Chart representation.
Currently, the report is embedded in the SharePoint page. Would need to download the report from the embedded page, using a Download button.

Report embedded in SharePoint Page.
Is there any way we can download the entire power bi report as excel?
There is no export Report to Excel for standard Power BI reports.
With standard Power BI you cannot export the report as Excel, just PDF and PowerPoint. You can use Analyse in Excel to connect to the data model in the service, but you will have to recreate the visuals from the pivot table.
You can Export to Excel with Power BI Paginated Reports, but you'll need Premium, Premium Per User or Power BI Report Server to use this type of report. You'll be able to export in HTML, MHTML, PDF, XML, CSV, TIFF, Word and Excel.
If the report is embedded into an object like SharePoint you may be able to add an object that calls the API. This will be dependant on the license type you have to access the API, Power BI Embedded EM SKU etc.
This will still result in the same export types for Power BI, PDF and PPTX, but also comes with and image file (PNG as default) and Power BI Premium/Per User options outlined above.
So, I created dataset that can be used to generate multiple reports and dashboards.
I would like to publish to the web portal and allow report designers to create their own reports and dashboards. Which works great until I need to update the model. If I update the model and push the data set via Publish function it deletes the reports.
So is the only option for everyone to use PowerBI Desktop? What is the web-based report designer for? Is this only for datasets that will never change?
If your Power BI file has reports in it, it will over write them. What I think is happening is that your users are updating the report in your dataset, for example adding a new tab, so when you load changes it overwrites them.
You need to decouple the Dataset from the reports. You can load your dataset with out any reports. You can then build reports using two methods.
1) Connect to the dataset using Power BI Desktop, using the connect to Power BI Dataset connection. That links to the dataset in a Live Connection, so you can build your reports from that. You can then publish your report. Any changes to the dataset will not overwrite it.
2) For the Web builder you can do the same, create a new report in the portal and select a dataset from that workspace to build your report. What the user needs to do then is 'Save as' and give that report as a new name.
Both methods just link to your dataset, not build a report directly in the file
I have set up two reports, source and target to test cross report drill through.
It works fine in the power bi service, but not when the report is being embedded (Apps own data).
Is this a limitation or am I missing anything?
Is there a workaround?
Not, it doesn't work. When you embed a report, you specify which report exactly to be embedded. The cross-report drill through will try to open another report (not the one, which is embedded), which isn't a problem in a browser or Power BI Desktop, but this will not work when embedding. You can try to combine both reports into one, on separate pages, as a workaround for this issue.

Hi I have an excel which is saved in one drive for business. I update the file on daily basis with the agent name, date and no of clients handled. I have created a report with power bi file in desktop version and published it in power bi online and then created link by publish to web option. Now this link is not updated with recent data.
I tried to create the report through power bi online but it does not have options like modeling and query editor...
I am very new to power bi so kindly excuse for any errors ....
I just need to give the operations team a link to view daily performance of the team, rather than opening excel file and looking at the data.
I just need to paste the data in excel file and the report should be updated automatically ...
I have created a report with power bi file in desktop version and published it in power bi online and then created link by publish to web option.
Creating the report in Power BI Desktop is the correct first step. But if you are using Publish to Web functionality, you are publicly sharing your data in an insecure manner. Do you actually mean Publish To Web, or do you just mean that you published your report to PowerBI.com?
Now this link is not updated with recent data.
You need to set a scheduled refresh so the Power BI model will contain the latest version of the data from your Excel file. You can also manually refresh your dataset, but if you want to make sure it has the latest data every day, scheduled refresh is the way to go. Locate your dataset in PowerBI.com. There will be a scheduled refresh option. On the settings page, enter your credentials, then under scheduled refresh turn on the Keep your data up to date toggle. Choose a frequency and time.
Here is a link to make sure you connected to your file in OneDrive correctly that also mentions how to set up scheduled refresh at the bottom.
