PowerBI Service: PDF/Powerpoint with not export Current Values.

[carlol]

When attempting to export to Powerpoint/PDF with Current Values  , pdf/PP with default values is exported

[v-cazheng-msft]

Hi @carlol ,

When exporting the report to PDF/PPT with current values, it exports the report in the current state, which includes the active changes we made to slicer and filter values. And URL filters aren't currently respected when choosing "Current Values" for your export. For more details, you may refer to Export reports to PDF - Power BI | Microsoft Docs.

In addition, may I know whether there is any custom visuals in your report? Is this issue taking place in all your reports or just one specific report?

Also, there is a similar issue may help you.

Hi 

I did test these in PowerBI Service and PowerBI desktop ; they where working.

• PowerBI Desktop -- still working 
• PowerBI Service -- Intermittent

Microsoft released a fix on  22nd of November 2019 for this

Scenario

Six Reports published via an App in PowerBI Service

I have Created a Slicer Pop Out Window with Bookmark Buttons in Power BI

I click on the button , it unhides a slicer ; users makes selection , report reflects filter selection, User can close the Slicer (Hide)

No Custom Visuals

PowerBi Service

Action: I make a change to the slicer , export to PDF using Current Values

Outcome: 

I can replicate three scenarios 

1. Default Values are still illustrated even though Current values where selected
2. First Page reflects the Current Values but the proceeding pages reflect the default values
3. Reports with one page only, export correctly with Current values

@v-cazheng-msft ,

This bug is defininately still around. We also experience this bug now. No matter what I select, refresh, etc., export to PDF is only possible with default values.

What's more, before it worked just fine while developing the report in June / July. I've trained the company on using the report and all was good. I've since gone on holiday for three weeks, just came back, installed the August version (of both the gateway and PBI Desktop), haven't changed a single thing about the report itself and now we cannot export to PDF anymore while keeping the current value?

This unfortunately defeats the whole purpose of my report, which has cost me quite some time to develop!

Can anyone at least please confirm this bug is still being fixed?

Cheers,

Niels
