PowerBI Report Builder - can it use/declare variables?

    In SSRS, creating your own variables for use within your report is trivial... did MSFT leave this out of PowerBI Report Builder? In SSRS, I could create a dataset, and create a variable, and set the value using an aggregate for example (like a count of records in a dataset). I'm trying to do the exact same thing in PowerBI Report Builder. Is Ralph Wiggum right? ("That's unpossible!")

    Oh, they hid the variable declaration stuff... I should have known. Good to know it's there...

    Where did you find the variable declaration stuff?

    Jo,

    It was in a painfully obvious place. Right-click on the gray area (not on the report), and select "Report Properties" from the context menu. It's under there.

    So then you can use them like you do in SSRS.
