    In native SSRS it is possible to call the report itself and hand over the necessary parameters.


    On a specific cell, you go to properties and enable Action and choose "Go to report" (it is possible to achieve the same behavior even with "Go to URL"). Then you can use the report and every time, when you trigger that action you keep using the same report on the same tab in your web browser.


    If you want to implement the same functionality in Power BI Paginated Report you don't have the option "Go to report". However, you can work around it by using "Go to URL". Then you can use the report and every time, when you trigger that action you keep using the same report but a new tab in your web browser opens. With every additional click on the action cell, you get one more tab in the web browser. Which is unusable.


    Therefore, I would like to see either "Go to report" action in Report Builder or a possibility to choose whether a "Go to URL" should open a new window or not.

    RE: Power BI Paginated Report - Action - Go to report missing / Go to URL (open in same window)

    Hi Team ,Raised an idea/Future Request to have Go To Report Option in Power BI Paginated Report .As of now its not available in Power BI Paginated report or if we want to create Paginated Report in Report Builder so that i can be consumed in Power BI.Issue : Due to lack of this feature ,we have to pass parameters to the Child report via URL where URL length will pitch in and it has max limit of 2043 characters and report fails in Max URL length issue.More details can be tracked under the MS case TrackingID#220324003000097I would wish to have Go to Report Feature in Report builder as well .Frankly speaking ,Existing features in Reports Builder used to build paginated reports in SSRS should also be made available in future /upcoming releases which will be more value add to the customer.At present Go to Report in available for SSRS Report builder version but not for latest Report builder meant for PBI.

    While migrating reports from SSRS to PBI paginated without this option we need to go with Action URL, were as action URL has limitation of only 2048 characters.if we have goto report option embedded in PBI Report Builder passing of filters to other reports will be flawless
