Workshop:

Lenore Flower - Power BI Paginated Reporting Crash Course
When a report needs to be PDF-ed or printed, Power BI (Paginated) Report Builder is simply the right tool for the job. Yet—as anyone who has used Power BI Report Builder will tell you—creating a paginated report can be deceptively difficult.
This hands-on paginated reporting workshop is designed to take true beginners and seasoned Power BI service users alike from frustrated to empowered. Attendees will first learn key paginated reporting concepts, then watch how those concepts translate into practical application in a demo. Each training segment culminates with attendees directly applying what they’ve learned by building their own reports, step by step.
Throughout the training, attendees will also train their troubleshooting muscles by "Bailing out Benny," a fictional coworker facing a common paginated reporting problem participants will be challenged to solve together.
Finally, we'll go over some of the trickiest (and most common) paginated reporting issues, such as configuring date pickers, creating efficient datasets sourced from a Power BI semantic model, perfecting the print format, and (finally!) getting those pesky table column headers to repeat on each page.
Attendees will leave having successfully created their own paginated reports--and ready to tackle their next paginated report request with confidence!

Speaker Bio:
Lenore Flower (MBA, MCT) is the owner of Data Plumber, LLC, a training-first consulting business that helps SMBs (Small-to-Medium sized Businesses) grow their data people alongside their data ecosystem on the Microsoft stack.
After serving as the BI lead on the client side of a challenging D365 F&O implementation, Lenore transitioned to data & BI consulting work with the explicit goal of becoming the kind of data consultant she had so badly needed herself. She now specializes in collaborating one-on-one with data professionals to both build and learn how to maintain data systems that span D365 F&O, Fabric, Power BI, and Dataverse.
Lenore loves learning and sharing knowledge as part of the broader data community. In addition to being an enthusiastic speaker and attendee at various community events, she co-organizes the Power BI Washington DC User Group (since 2022), and the DUG DC user Group (since 2025), and recently launched "Beautiful Nerds-The Podcast" to help keep the conversation going between community events.
