Export to PDF/PowerPoint Not Respecting End-User Selections
GilbertQ The report I'm testing with was first created earlier this month and published to the Power BI service at the same time. I confirmed that I am on the newest version of Power BI Desktop and republished for testing again. Version: 2.73.5586.661 64-bit (September 2019)
It appears that other users are now having the same issue:

Are you trying to export the data?
If so you would always be an admin and see all the data.
Also if users are part of the App Workspace and have any other permission besides "Viewer" they too would be able to see all the data.
Hi GilbertQ -
No, this is not related to exporting data. The row-level security is working as intended. I added that descroption to provide more context for my issue.
The issue is when exporting to PDF or PowerPoint (PPT) from the Power BI service, drill location and applied filters are not being respected. Below are the steps I'm following:
- Reset the report to default
- Filter using the new filtering experience
- Expand a row in a matrix using the + icon
- Export to PDF and/or PowerPoint
After following those steps, the filter I applied and the drill location are ignored in the screenshots visible in the PDF and PowerPoint (PPT) that are exported.

Hi there
Thanks for the clarification, I do think that this is a current limitation within the exporting options.
I do know that you can only currently export with filtered values as shown below.
