Answer 1

The maximum allowed number of rows in reports is configurable on the Business Central server. More information can be found in the documentation under this link: Configure Server Instance (Reports section, value ReportMaxRows).

Answer 2

You can use MaximumDatasetSize which sets the maximum amount of rows to be included on the report. And this property will override the hard limit that is set by the Default Max Rows (500000) for Report which setting for Business Central Server instance.

Answer 3

Under the Global Properties of the AL Report, include the MaximumDatasetSize = x; as one of the properties , where x is an integer specifying the maximum length of the rows you want to be generated.

Below is the sample AL Report source code.

report 1 "Report Name"
{
    DefaultLayout = RDLC;
    MaximumDatasetSize = 1000000;
    RDLCLayout = '.\Path\Report Layout Name.rdl';
    dataset
    {
        dataitem(TableVariableName; "Table Name")
        {
            column(column1; column1) { }
            column(column2; column2) { }
        }
    }
}
