printing multipage tables

Hi, does anyone have a solution for printing a table in Power BI that is multiple pages?  I have a table that does not display all data on the screen so you have to scroll down on the screeen.  When you print to hard copy or pdf you only get 1 page.  Any work arounds/solutions would be much appreciated.  Thanks for the help.

    Hi all, I am looking for a solution to this issue as well.  I have a report that has a long table, I want it to print to multiple pages and repeat the header, suggestions?

        I'm also looking for a solution to this one, although I'm exporting to ppt instead of printing, but same issue.

    I don't think it is possible in PBI currently. What I am doing is to export the table to excel, then print from the excel.

      We've ended up creating a workaround by using dynamic indexes and rankx to at least be able to print for example the first 20 rows on page 1, 21-40 on page 2, 41-60 on page 3 etc.

       

      In our case we have user feedback so usually contains a lot of commas, so export to csv doesn't work well. 

       

      Regards,

        That wouldn't work in all cases, if we didn't know the number of rows that would be displayed right?

         

        I have data that can have from 10 to 100s of rows depending on the filters selected, in this case I might be showing empty pages if less data is there. Did you have any work around for this?
