Has anyone come up with a workaround to export multiple Power BI report pages with applied filters without using Dedicated Capacity?

Hi @tomperro 

 

The Power Automate based solution detailed by PBI Guy for report bursting (PDFs sliced or filtered on a parameter like company, product, branch, etc) is hard to implement and not very scalable as the slicer values increase. Besides having complex licensing requirements both for the sender and recipient. 

 

If you are open to third-party solutions, see BI Helper https://bihelper.tech, an easy to use SaaS application that automates the generation and emailing of user-specific PDFs (with filters and slicers applied). It is secure, scalable and reliable and requires a single Power BI Pro / PPU license.

 

It doesn't require Power Automate or any other tools, and can be easily set up and run by a business user.
