Overflow table content into a second table

I export my report to a PDF to share with team members, so anything that has a scroll bar essentially just cuts off the content. There is enough room on the screen for everything, but with the horizontal layout (which works great for the other pages) some tables are simply too long to fit on the page. Is there any way to connect two tables such that both can be used to hold the content an the first table would "overflow" the content to another table? E.g. I'd have two tables on one page and whatever would be at the bottom of one of the tables flows into the top of the second table so that all the content fits on the printed page. Is this possible?

HI @jeggen ,

You can add an index column to your table, then write a page column to group records based on index filed.
After these, you can apply page on visual level filer to control table visual display different page records.

Page = 
INT ( ( 'Table'[Index] - 1 ) / 10 ) + 1

Hi @jeggen ,

Nope, current power bi does not support this, maybe you can submit an idea for this requirement.

Is there a way to manually do this? I know how to format one table to show only the top x records (35 is what fits.) I only see a way to do the top x or bottom x records, but is there a creative way to show the bottom y records where y = total records - x?
