Export to PDF?

First of all, my report consists of about 65 pages and power bi only allows export for maximum of 50 pages. Plus, nerd the report in pbix format as it's drill downs n filters which cannot be used in PowerPoint or pdf. Is there any other option?

    Have fewer pages in your report  (If you use workspace usage metrics you can see who looks at which pages). Challenge the need for the snapshots (maybe keep the history in the dataset instead?). Spend your time creating insights, not shuffling electrons around.

      Thank you for the advice but the power BI report is exact replica of the ones we have been using ever since our company started. We used to make powerpoint presentations on weekly basis with all necessary information. We decided to take a step forwards and automate the process. All the pages in my report are necessarily important and cannot be replaced. Now that I have made a dynamic report, we also need to archive the weekly reports. Thus, I need a static report.

        How do you know?  Are you running usage metrics on page level?

         

        Create two versions, each under 50 pages. Export both manually.  Or archive the combined version manually.
