    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    The option of exporting a report to PNG format through the REST API is disabled by default for all tenants (this is the design).
    Because of this bug:
    1) For tenants who didn’t enable this option in the past –if they want to allow it, they cannot do so.
    2) For tenants who enabled this option in the past - they cannot disable it .
    3) For tenants who enabled this option in the past – they can still export to PNG format.

     

    Fix will be part of 7.1 train.

     

    Best regards,
    Lionel Chen

We've built a tool called BI Helper https://bihelper.tech/ to automate the generation of  PDF / PPTX reports from Power BI (Pro and Premium), with slicers and filters applied. BI Helper works independent of your tenant settings in Premium. 

With BI Helper, you can select report pages to print, schedule and generate multi-page PDF / PPTX reports and email them to your users. BI Helper has an option to include matrix and table visuals as Excel files, and lots of other advanced features. Our users routinely run reports of up to 30 pages, with the process fully automated from report generation to delivery. 


BI Helper is simple to configure and use with your Power BI reports and dashboards. It is secure and scalable (hosted on AWS) and offers a 14 day free trial. Try it out and let us know how it works for you.
