report output as attachment
I think I know the answer to this one, my users are used to getting report outputs as excel attached in their emails?
Is there a way in power bi where report output can be attached in emails as excel or pdf ? If not, can I contact the product team to have this feature added pleaese ?

Hi there
This can be done using the Power BI REST API
Here are more details: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/export-report-to-pdf-pptx-and-png-files-using-power-bi-rest-api/- GilbertQHi there
Chris Webb actually just created an awesome blog post on how to do this

If you don't want to add any code, you can send the report as a pdf with a link to your user by "Subscribe to emails" in power bi service, but unfortunately, there is no excel version supperted there
