2D Barcode (Data Matrix) not displaying well in SSRS Power BI Report

Question

Hi Support, We are using the SSRS Power BI Barcode Generator. This test link works. I have done as instructed, i.e., putting the code provided in the IDAutomation SSRS Native - Data Matrix.txt on the Report Code. But putting it on SSRS or Power BI Reports doesn't seem to work. Please see the attached image. This is how the expression is : =Code.IDAutomation_SSRS_DataMatrix(Fields!Calculated_AMAT_QRCode.Value, 0,3,10) where the calculated field would have resulted to the following : [)>069S9000164191E19000810000000000873PE19000810S873 1T4LNZQ03QEA2PB12D2025041016D20250410V9000164191 Can you please let me know what I am missing here? Thanks. Beth

Beth, from the look of the image you posted and the amount of data you are encoding, it looks like the image is too big for the image box that needs to contain the barcode, and this causes distortion. Increase the size of the barcode object so that it can fit within it, and that should solve the problem.

I am glad that it is working now. To make the symbol smaller, refer to step 8 of the SSRS Power BI implementation guide and change the point size of the font in the barcode object.
