scheduled export of a report to pdf

It would be nice if there is an option to have a scheduled export of a report to PDF. A nice to have feature would be to directly e-mail it to people so they are being notified of the latest report.

We started with PowerBI Pro and didnt even think about having this function; we thoughts thats absolutely standard - ecspecially if you guys call it the "Power Platform" with Automate and so on. Its unbelievable, that an automatic export to csv and then mailed / moved on to ftp, onedrive whatever is not possible. This is an showstopper for us and - if we cant find any 3th party solution - we have to move on to another BI solution. I really dont understand how you guys could "forget" this feature.

This is just basic functionality that everyone else has. You shouldn't have to purchase a list of SKUs beyond that of what is supposedly a 'power' app. Automating a .pdf, .csv, .xlsx file should, at the very least, be an option. These are basic file types that many use every day. I get it if the free version didn't have this very basic functionality. But, once you charge someone for something like this, to exclude this very basic functionality is ridiculous. especially when you call it a 'power' app.

I think MS will not implement ths in a way people reading this expect as this breaks the business model. Allowing automated export to pdf/powerpoint etc means consumers would not need a powerbi license. Why else cripple the product like this? If you need this, you may want to look at another bi sollution. But I added my vote!

Last request around this, having the option to execute the subscription according to other refresh. For example, we are using a scheduler but this is already impossible to administer the PBI dataset refresh properly and schedule the launch of the report just after. Only current workaround: knowing the average time required for the dataset to refresh, taking some marging and planning the launch of the reports afterward. But in case of dataset refresh error or dataset refresh that took more time than expected, all report will have the incomplete figures of not totally wrong. All this to be able to use PBI as a whole on a global and WW scaled company instead of on-premise platform to avoid all these missing functionalists

We love PowerBI so much and we know the team is very busy making it so awesome, that at DevScope we extended it a little bit with Powerbi Robots. Powerbi robots automatically creates Hi-Res PDFs of PowerBI dashboards and reports and sends them anywhere, scheduled when you want it and to an unlimited number of recipients. ª Automate Power BI reports * Send Power BI reports to anyone * Filter data delivered by audience * Display Power BI reports anywhere (email, pdf, tvs,devices) More info at : https://www.powerbitiles.com/?app=PBIRobots Thank you PowerBI Team.

While completing this, it would be nice to have the URL filters respected when you choose Current Values for your exported.

Hi Team, similar to other reactions, i was simply amazed to find out that subscriptions currently only deliver .png format (for PBI Pro users). Other BI tools can export to pdf/excel/csv/html... It's really a step back for a user community that is used to features like that. I see your latest update dates July 16, 2019. Would you have more news in the meantime? Thx.
