# PBRS

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/73003/pbrs

> PBRS allows users to schedule Power BI Reports \& Dataset refreshes to run at a specific date and time; or to run them hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly; or set up your own custom frequencies e.g. 4-4-5, every other day, third Monday of the month, and so on. And the same report can be scheduled to be run multiple times with different filters, formats, frequencies, and destinations.

Distribute Power BI Reports and respond to your business needs by setting schedules to run based on events and triggers rather than date. For example, when a database record is created, modified or deleted; when data is received on a port; when an unread email exists in a folder in a mailbox; if a file exists; and so on.

PBRS' export process does not use Microsoft's export-to-file API so is not affected by the limitations \& constraints of that API.  For example, you can export reports that are more than 50 pages, and, unlike Power Automate, you do not need to be on a dedicated capacity Premium license to use PBRS.

PBRS works seamlessly with Power BI Service (Pro \& PPU), PBiRS (Power BI Report Server - On Premises), Power BI Premium, and all editions of SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).

The scheduling service runs as a Windows service to enable unattended scheduling. Simply set it \& forget it\!

## Reviews

### "Great product, great company" — 5.0/5

> **Giles** | *20 November 2019* | Packaging & Containers | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: When we started using the multi-threading functionality, the speed of PBRS to generate SSRS reports shot up.
> 
> **Cons**: We have found a few bugs in the software, but (Sensitive Content Hidden)
 have always been very responsive and effective in fixing them.
> 
> We need to generate SSRS reports and then print them, with the same report being distributed to multiple recipients.
The multi-threading in PBRS allows that initial report generation step to execute really quickly.  We then use data-driven jobs to distribute the reports via printers or email.
We have been working closely with (Sensitive Content Hidden)
 to achieve this.  They have always been very responsive when we reach out to them and have added key functionality to the product to allow us to meet our needs.
