Printing unscrolled data in matrix view
Community ChampionCan 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.
What about if you bring a tile into Excel from Power Bi using the "Power BI Tiles" addin for Excel?
Let's say this tile was "scrolled" matrix view for example. Would you be able to print out all the rows in Excel?
