Power BI Report PDF Extraction through subscription - Incomplete Data Issue
- 11 months ago
Was able to resolve this by increasing the Page Length , so Paginated report was not needed.
But thank you all for your inputs!
Hi Anusha66
In Power BI, subscriptions capture the visible area of a report page as an image, so when a matrix or table visual has scroll bars, only the portion that fits on the screen is included in the PDF or email snapshot, and the rest gets cropped. Unfortunately, subscriptions do not automatically “overflow” data into multiple pages like paginated reports do. To include all rows, you have a few workarounds: you can redesign the visual to remove scrolling by increasing the visual height or reducing font/row size so more data fits; export the table or matrix data directly to Excel, which preserves all rows; or, for a fully formatted multi-page PDF output, use Power BI Paginated Reports (RDL) instead, since these are designed for printing and exporting and will naturally split large datasets across multiple pages. Essentially, standard Power BI subscriptions are best for snapshots, while paginated reports or data export are the right options for complete data coverage.
