Error by exporting Power BI to PDF or Power Point with grouped views

Hi,

 

I am using the new feature of August 2019, that allows us to group views in the Power BI Desktop.
And this function is amazing for developing elaborated views.

 

But, I'm having trouble to export the Power BI to PDF or Power Point.
In the exported view, all the groups are moved to the up-left-corner of the page and also they overlap each other.

 

Is anyone going through the same problem?

Hi @AugustoRadames ,

 

Thanks for pointing it out. Checked with PG, This is a known issue. Fix is part of 9.1 train. ETA 9/6 to all production clusters.

Hi @AugustoRadames ,

 

Following the online document, i cannot reproduce your issue here useing the Power BI desktop version 2.72.5556.701 64-bit (August 2019). What visual did you use in your report? How about publishing to the report to service and exporting it again?

Hi,
I'm using the same version.

I will post here all the steps that I'm following until get the error reported. Check it:

 

Firstly, I use new tool "Group"

GroupGroup

Next, I publish my Power BI to share it, and then, I use the function "Export to PDF" (When I export to the Power Point the same thing happens)

Finally, I have my dashboard on PDF archive, but in a very different view from how it was in Power BI.
All my grouped forms are overlaping each other.

Have you ever seen this problem?
