Printing unscrolled data in matrix view

If a table requires scrolling because there are like 1000 rows, how do you print the entire table. In Excel, I just select the range and print it. Power BI only allows me to print a snapshot of what ...

Can you  not just export the Matrix to excel and print from there as a temporary work around?

    That is really no solution because the data was from Excel (where I can easily make a pivot chart and print there). The real advantage of Power BI would be that I could take data sets from several sources, make a visualization tile, and print it out from a Power BI tile. Is that possible?

      dmmalkin, the unscrolled data will not be printed, plz submit one idea on the Power BI Ideas forum. I will also report it internally.

        i am going to be honest and say that I don't think the unscrolled data is intended to be printed within the current version. I believe this has been suggested in the the idea forum prior to now. My best understanding is that full printing was not originally a complete function as PowerBI was 'intended' to be the presentation in and of its self. You cannot pivot or slice on a print out and excel already provided static information. That being said, I have read that full printing functionality is in the works but I cannot remember the timeline for roll out.

         

        In addition, I believe different browsers have different printing capabilities. . .

         

        Keep in mind that I am a user like you so I do not have any great insight on the inner workings of the dev. team. And my "understanding" may not actually reflect the facts of the matter, it is based upon what I have read and been told in past trainings.
