You need to create a report for the finance department that must fit exactly on an A4 page, include repeating headers and footers, list more than 200,000 detail rows without truncation, and be exported to PDF for printing. Which type of report should you design in Power BI to meet these requirements?
Create a standard interactive Power BI report in Power BI Desktop and set the page size to A4.
Export the dataset to Excel and distribute an A4-formatted worksheet to users.
Build a Power BI dashboard tile that displays a table visual sized to A4 proportions.
Design a paginated report by using Power BI Report Builder and publish it to the Power BI service.
Paginated reports are pixel-perfect, page-based reports that are optimized for printing and PDF output. They allow you to define exact page sizes such as A4, repeat page headers and footers on each printed page, and render very large tables because the data can flow across as many pages as necessary. Interactive Power BI reports and dashboard tiles focus on on-screen analytics; although you can set a custom page size, they are not designed for precise pagination or for printing thousands of rows without loss. Distributing an Excel workbook may satisfy data volume needs but does not provide the required printable, fixed-layout format within Power BI. Therefore, a paginated report built with Power BI Report Builder best satisfies all stated requirements.
