I am very new to PowerBI.
I have displayed a table of data using Matrix but want to show details of additional data upon clicking one of the rows. It can be displayed on the second page.
I wonder if it's possible and can someine direct me to what the process is?
Thanks
You have to use the drill-through feature provided by Power BI. If you don't already know how it works, this post has the exact thing you are trying to accomplish.
I am programming the On_Click method for the button labeled "View" in the first printscreen below. The method will load a form with data corresponding with the specific address id in the row containing the "View" button. This code worked perfectly when pointing to a target form called "Addresses". However, when I decided to rename the form "Address", I started receiving the following error message when clicking on the view button:
I did some research on the web about this error message, which lead me to try to delete any outdated references in the VBA editor. But when I clicked on Tools-->References in the VBA editor, I got the following error message:
It seems that MS Access' entries in the system registry might have been corrupted. But I am not certain of this because the documentation of this on the web is sparse and inconsistent.
Here is a link to the database on a file sharing site: http://jmp.sh/b/9Uyx6J2YzWbs8zPq2h6g
If the problem is in the database, you can recreate the problem by opening the form "Main" and clicking on the button "View" for the record shown in the printscreen above, or for other records.
Can anyone show me how to get past this error message?
my advices?
You could rename your Forms!....SourceObject to "Address" instead of "Addresses"
You could copy/paste the form, delete the original, and retry
You could install a decent debugging tool like MZ-Tools for VBA, that will help you manage your errors. Check the details here
EDIT: I used to get similar bugs years ago, when I was writing specific form event procedures. As we decided to switch to a model where forms did not need to be debbuged anymore (check this here), we stopped getting this kind of message. And I think I forgot the trick we used to solve this kind of error. If I were you:
I'd try to open another access database and import all objects ...
I'd put aside/cancel the faulty onClick procedure
And I'd install MZ Tools because otherwise VBA debugging is a nightmare ...
Since access was not liking the command button in each record of the continuous form, I choose to put the view button's logic in the on click event of a text box in each row, which I configured as enabled but locked. This produces a separate link from each record of the continuous form to a unique detail page with more of the chosen record's data.
This solution works perfectly, and is enabling me to move on with my other coding.
However, it would be nice if someone else were able to show how to get the command button solution to work.
I am currently working on a third party applications.Now there are some webpages where data are in Grid. So is it possible to read such grid contents from the webpage and stored it into the excel sheet?
Thanks
You don't need to do any programming. Excel has the ability to retreive data directly from HTML tables.

In short:
Go to The data tab
Click "from web"
Navigate to your page
Select the table of interest.
You can then refresh it by refreshing the data connection.
If you want to scrape it yourself then you can do it with all the tags you have used in your question. Just learn all those things and the answer will then be obvious.
I'm a bit new to reportviewer so I have a question that could solve my doubts about it. I created a DataSet and bind the table using the DataSet and created a report and show the data using the reportviewer. Here comes the problem that I can't seems to solve it. Below were the pictures that I am showing to you guys.
Notice the + sign in the box? How to make the reportviewer that it wouldn't show the + sign and immediately shows every data that I put. I need to click several times in order to see the entire data inside the reportviewer like the picture below.
I just found the answer to that doubts. It is to unselect the 'Expand/collapse' groups check box when you were creating.
On my RDLC page, the "Report Data" window shows a custom dataset that it pulls fields from to display. I've modified this DataSet with some additional tables. However, these tables aren't shown and therefore I'm unable to select them for use in expressions (in the Expression window, under Datasets, there are only the tables that were originally there, not the additional tables I've added).
Refreshing the data source doesn't do anything, and if I right-click on it and select "New Dataset", I'm unable to select the parent data source (it doesn't appear in the drop down list). What I mean is, if the data source is called "MyDataSet", and under that are other DataSets, if I right-click and go to "Add Dataset", it brings up the dialog box but "MyDataSet" is not in the list of available Data sources, even though I'm specifically saying I want to add a datatable to that data source. The other, existing, datatables list it under the data source, but new ones do not.
How do I refresh the data source so I can access these new tables in my report?
This is an old question, but I was having this problem too and I'll mention my answer for future googlers.
In the Report Data Window (which automatically appears for me when I am editing a .rdlc file), I had to Refresh my Dataset (same name as the DataSetName in the Tablix in my .rdlc Report), and then that updated the XML of the .rdlc file. The new fields are then available to me.
I have the same problem with Visual Studio 2010 Premium. You must do this step:
Re-build the project that contain your Business Object
Restart Visual Studio
Refresh your DataSet (Report Data --> Right click on DataSet --> Refresh).
I managed to get this working (for SSRS in C# using a Dataset that points to a Stored Procedure) by:
hitting Shift+Alt+D (which opens the "Data Sources" window)
In Data Sources, select/click the table you want to update
At the top of the window there are icons (I'm using VS2012). The 2nd from the right is "Configure Data Source" - click it and it will open a new wizard window that will appear to be refreshing everything.
UN-check the column that is no longer applicable and/or check the new column (if the values aren't already checked/unchecked).
Go back to your "Report Data" window (Ctrl+Alt+D) and right-click on your Dataset and then click "Refresh".
All the columns should be updated at that point.
Have you tried rebuilding your project? I had to do this after changing any business object.
I had this issue for hours on VS-2008. Tried everything and at the end what worked was just to close and open it VS again.
I can confirm that just closing the solution and reopening it, with later refreshing the DataSet from Report Data window worked for me.
Seems like there is no need to restart VS.
I got the same issue in visual studio 2012. I solved it, here is the steps,
Press Ctrl + Q and type Report Data (If No Report Data window available)
Expand Data Source node to find the data set (I have used Data Set)
Right click on the Data set and select Refresh (Simply refresh the data source)
Delete the dataset and again add it with ur query or usp...
If you are using a database source the likely culprit is that you didn't create the query with select *. Without the * the query will always be static and new fields won't appear. HTH
For visual studio 2010
Open Your Data Set (.xsd file)
Right click on data set click on configure
Click on Next Next than finish
On your dataset click refresh than Changes willbe display.
Sounds like same issue is happening on VS2019. I could resolve the issue by only restarting Visual Studio, nothing else worked!
This is the only solution worked for me.
After updating the DataSource properly, open the .rdlc file in NotePad and add the newly added Field manually. Then it will be available to use in the report.
Had the same in VS2019 using an object datasource, right click and refresh on the dataset in the Report Data window had no effect until I changed the build configuration from x64 to Any CPU, then it worked as expected. Once it updated changed the build back and all was well - not at all flakey!
As ChanthJ said -
It is the only solution worked for me.
After updating the DataSource properly, open the .rdlc file in NotePad and add the newly added Field manually. Then it will be available to use in the report.
steps
Assuming you Data source is fed by stored procedures, the following worked for me (On Visual Studio 2017): -
Make the necessary changes in the source stored procedure in the Database(new Field Names etc.).
Double click the .XSD file from the Solution Explorer to open it
Delete the associated Data Table / Table Adapter.
Add the Table Adapter back into the .XSD file (the changes will be reflected)
Save and close the .XSD
Open the .rdlc report designer.
Press "ctrl+Alt+D" or Click View > Report Data.
Expand the Data Sources node.
Right Click the Data Source.
Select "Refresh".
Expand the Datasets node.
Right Click the Data Source.
Select "Refresh"
The changes will now reflect and be available for selection on the .rdlc
report designer
