I have an information link that I use for an itemized report and and summary report of those items.
I updated the information link but the summary report that is based on the original information link still returns data from the original version of the link.
How do I refresh the link used by the report with out rewriting the report?
Try Edit > Data Table Properties
Select the summary report and click refresh.

I have a PowerBi report with several data sources, SQL query and Excel connector.
The SQL data data on our Products whereas the Excel is living data on salesperson notes on said products.
The PowerBI has a PowerApp visualization. The Power App has 3 pages:
Page 1 is landing page that Gallery displays data from PowerBi
Page 2 is a form edit page to edit notes in the Excel spreadsheet that we know exists because we saw those notes in the PowerBi report
Page 3 is a form edit page to add new notes in the Excel spreadsheet that we know we have to add because we did not see them in the PBI report
On Page 1 are two buttons, "Edit" and "New" that navigates to the proper page.
Now here the WTF moment
IF the Product has notes and the user clicks on the NEW button, then PowerApps adds the line to the Excel spreadsheet, causing duplicates and thus the PowerBi report cannot refresh. It breaks.
If the Product does not have notes and the user clicks on the EDIT button then PowerApps does a LookUp(ExcelSpreadsheet, Column=Gallery1.Selected.PowerBiValue which results in a NULL value and thus breaks with a dreaded server response: expression "... eq null" is not supported.
If I try to add the 'IsEmpty()' to preemptive counter it, the 'Lookup()' is run first thus breaking before it gets to the 'IsEmpty()', same goes with 'IsBlank', 'IsBlankOrError', and 'IsError'.
I have Googled the living %(#$* out of this and there seems to be nothing on it, as this is in direct relation to 'LookUp' on the Excel Spreadsheet not a dropdown or in app text box that other people have issues with. How is it that you can't even use the error handler 'IsError()' as it breaks before the handler can even have a chance to do anything.
If I use LookUp(ExcelSpreadsheet, Column=Gallery1.Selected.PowerBiValue) in any way, shape, or form, with or without If clauses, because it will eventually produce a NULL result, Power Apps breaks
How do I read null values from a data source?
SOLUTION:
Since the "living data" Excel spreadsheet is also in the PowerBi report, I have PowerBi send the living data values along with the SQL queried product values to the PowerApp. Since the NULL is now a sent from PowerBi instead of queried from Excel within PowerApps, I can have 1 button that's OnSelect property reads:
IF(IsBlankorError(Gallery1.Selected.LivingDataNotes),Navigate(NewNotes),Navigate(EditNotes)
Can someone please explain how can I display selected filters in a text box in Cognos ? I am preparing this report in cognos report studio
// , Use the following function call:

I have created a custom field in Contract table. And now I want to use that field in the Report ar641000.rpx. But, when I go to Contract table, I don't see the custom field.
To see table changes (Acumatica versions or customization) you need to refresh the schema in your report. The report loads the table schema so it just needs refreshed.
Does Acumatica Report Designer have this feature ??
In the Stock Item Description user entered text along with uploaded pictures / photographs in Acumatica.
How do I print the same in Report Designer ??
I included a Picture Box and modified the type as text/hmtl the text got printed on the Report. However Images in the Stock Item description which are updated in the Uploaded file table are available. How do they get placed in the report ??
AFAIK, report engine does not allow verbatim html due to security reasons.
We just migrated to SP 2010 and I am trying to migrate a report library. I had no problems updating the project and re-deploying reports. They work just fine. The problem is that in my Default View or any Report Category view the report names are not visible. I double checked that the names are visible in properties. If I add a Title or Description they show up just fine. For some reason the name will just not display.
The only way I can get the names is the All Reports and Dashboards view.
Here is a screenshot of my Default View:
I suppose I can just use the Title field as a work around. But that solution does not allow the user to click the name to view the report and that is what they are used to.
I can view the reports by clicking the type image. Any ideas of why the name will not display are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I discovered the solution. In SP 2007 the default view was using the column Report Name. Changing it do Document Name instead resolved the issue.
