    I just ran a quick test and export to PDF with respecting filters appears to be fixed. This issue has happened at least once or twice per year for the last 3 years.

    The issue of Power BI not respecting slicers when exporting to PDF is still persitant as of 10/09/2023. This has been ongoing since 10/02/2023. Raising a new support ticket.

      A workaround we've found is to disable the option "Don't allow end user to save filters on this report." With this option disabled, filters are honoured by the PDF export.

       

      Microsoft closed our support ticket saying for now this was expected behavior.

        I don't understand how this could be true: "Microsoft closed our support ticket saying for now this was expected behavior" considering that there is a button which the user selects if they want current/default values?
