I am using Power BI desktop to analyse data
I built a graph and from this graph I right clicked then got to "Analyze" option then choose "Find where the distribution is different"
So far everything is ok
I get the analysis I want
But when I try to copy the text, i found it is uncopyable.
how can I copy the analysis text and charts to word document?
Power BI desktop doesn’t it support currently, but you can export the report through PowerPoint format (publish the report to Power BI Service and select File->Export to PowerPoint).
Another option is to make a screenshot of the report and insert it into Word document. See discussion here

I'm new to PowerBI.
I wanted to create a scorecard that looks like the one in data studio where it displays the total value and percentage change from the previous period.
Below is the screenshot from Google Studio
You can add % from the data view in powerbi desktop,
PowerBI has some learning curve compare to Google Studio. I would recommend you to explore more and get yourself comfortable and try to find answers yourself.
But you should be able to achieve the output you're expecting using measures. Measures are similar to excel formula that allow you to calculate from existing values.

Is it possible to import or copy a table definition from one Power BI report to another report, within Power Bi Desktop.
So from one Power BI report copy the following to another report:
Source query which defines the table (i.e column types, data source etc.)
Any hierarchies defined within the table
Any Measures attached to the table
The contained data isn't important rather its the definition I would like to transfer.
Hopefully, this is all done without basically manually recreating each part.
I would be happy if this as simple copying a M-Query/DAX script between report and running it.
I have tried using a Power Bi templates, but this only seem to be useful as starting point in creating a report as it always creates a new report. I am looking for some way to transfer definitions between already created reports.
Until now (as far as I now) its just possible to copy everything what was done in the query designer to another report.
Go to Edit Queries click on your table on the left side, which you want to copy and go to Home > Advanced Editor. Copy the whole text.
Now in your other report add a blank query in your query designer, then go to the advanced editor and hit insert. If nothing changed (soure path, file name, etc...) you will have the same table with the applied steps as in the other report.
It's only a partial solution, but you can very easily copy/paste entire queries between reports. It doesn't get measures and DAX columns, though.
Source report -> Query Editor -> Queries pane on left -> Right click source query -> Copy
Destination report -> Query Editor -> Queries pane -> Left click -> Paste
I am trying to create a power bi replicating the tableau report. In tableau, it automatically group the values when we place the columns in rows pane. But in Power BI, I am not able to group the exact same way of tableau report. Please help me how to group the values in report pane of power bi.
I have tried table and matrix visualization but I am not getting the same view like tableau
Need to create the same visuals like tableau report. Attached images
As mentioned in this post, there is no exact visual copy of the Tableau visual you show for PowerBI. Instead, it offers the matrix visual where indentation is used to show groups. This, for instance, allows for a nice presentation of subtotals in your visual, something Tableau does differently. If you are really keen on getting the visual appeal closer alike, try changing the indentation under Formatting Options > Row Headers > Stepped layout indentation. That's the closest you are going to get given the current constraints of Power BI.
I have a data set that it transformed in SQL Server and then sent to Power BI. The report is built to specs of marketing people so i cannot move to excel (needs to be pretty).
Has anyone set up a procedure to automate the export of a PBI report (filtered by a specific column) and then converted to PDF? To clearify, the data set has performance metrics of say 15 locations and i need a report for each location.
Steps:
1) data is loaded in aggregate
2) filter applied by location
3) calculated fields populated (charts etc.)
4) exported to PPTX then converted to PDF (would love to automate this step)
5) Need to remove links to PBI from PDF (no quick way found yet)
6) go to PBI and set the filter to next location and repeat
Any advice would be appreciated!
How would you feel about just screen-shotting the PBI report and creating a PDF/PPTX file out of that?
You can also print direct to PDF:
Print -> Print to PDF as 'printer'
I hope I don’t break any rules for saying this but our software,PBRS, is just the answer for this. Our data-driven schedules can run the Power BI reports with one or more filters applied and export it to PDF, PowerPoint, Excel etc. The filter values can be pulled from a database list as you described.

Test driving MS Power BI Designer. In the Tabular visualization I can't find way to maintain data source order. I have a specific order I want a text field to be in. It is sorted that way in query but report only allows asc/desc order. Don't want to put 01,02,03 in text field. Also don't want to include "order" field in the visualization. (That would work if I could "hide" field though). Any ideas?
This is a capability that is on the roadmap. If you use Excel, you can see the 'sort by' option in Power Pivot. The same capability will come to Power BI Designer, but it's not there yet.
Appreciate your using Power BI,

There's a way to do this in Power BI Desktop. Check this video at about 10:50.

You'll need to create another column of number values to tell it what order to sort the text values in. You can do that with "Enter Data" if it doesn't already exist.
