Interactive functionality - different report rendering extensions

Reporting Services provides features for interacting with a paginated report at run time. Not all of the report rendering formats support the full range of interactive features. Use the following table to understand how each interactive feature works in specific formats.

Note

You can create and modify paginated report definition (.rdl) files in Microsoft Report Builder, Power BI Report Builder, and in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools.

Interactive features in different output formats

Paginated reports that are rendered to XML, CSV, or Image formats don't support interactive features.

Reports that you view in the Reporting Services web portal, SharePoint Web parts, or in a browser are rendered in HTML. HTML and Windows Forms are the only report output formats that fully support all interactive features. Alternate HTML formats (such as MHTML) support many interactive features. If exceptions for MHTML exist, they're noted in the following table.
