Power BI Reports - setting Subscriptions (like SSRS) on Power BI Reporting Server (looks like SSRS!)

[JP_M_Shep]

Hi

We have Power BI reporting Server and can deploy Power BI Desktop reports to and business users access and utiise, just like SSRS.

As a previous user of SSRS im used to being able to set report subscriptions and snapshots for all those business users who was reports as of 9.30am monday for their 11am team meeting.

Subscriptions in Power BI Reporting Server is suppressed / there but you cannot set anything up, even with full site credentials.

Am I missing something or is the capability for subscriptions and snapshots something that will be added in the future please?

Appreciated!

Matt

hi Matt, you correctly noted that Power BI reports currently do not support subscriptions nor snapshots. If you'd like to have this feature, please vote and comment on this ask. Thanks!

Thanks again, is it possible to download to csv on premium?

Many ppl in the business keep asking ...

[rpatkar]

yes, "Export data" option is available on Power BI reports in Premium edition. It exports to CSV. You can try out this feature by installing the Evaluation edition too.

Is this the case on the evaluation version (SSRS like) Power BI Reporting Server? Ours does not have this feature!

[rpatkar]

Yes. Can you please confirm whether you are using the GA (June) build? Here is what I see -

Please upgrade to GA (14.0.600.286) version available at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=55329. You may need to uninstall the earlier version but can reuse the catalog.

[rpatkar]

Sure, it supports Pilot/Evaluation.
