Hi, I would like to be able to use the QR Code Generation capability from Power BI Report Builder, and publish the report to the Power BI Service. I would use the QR Code in printed reports to direct users back to a more fully interactive report in the Power BI service. This would mean users of printed reports could still print but would also benefit from a newer interactive version.

I would like to also use the URL string parameters to filter to a specific item in a report so that someone could see just the item they are interested in from a printed page.

This would definitely help users to keep existing reports for a while until they transition to using the mobile versions, or keep both if they wanted. I am trying to offer the users more than just print but provide a seamless experience for users that need both.

Presumably the Power BI Service already has the dlls for QR Code generation, we just need the ability to access them from Power BI Report Builder.

Please vote this up - I think its a neat idea
