Truely export report or dashboard
I can print and I can export just fine. I simply do not have anything on the export dialog box that allows for Pdf. I can export to Excel, desktop, or csv but pdf is not there. I was misunderstanding your statement and was hoping that it was now possible to export to pdf.
You have to go to click print then select print to pdf in the drop down where your printer appears. It only does one page though not the whole report. So if your report is small or you just want a piece of it it will work for you. It doesnt help me because I have multiple pages.
Yes, print is nice for a small visual and export does okay for a report page. I was hoping to be able to print the report in its entirety using pdf. . This is inline with what I already had so I will keep waiting.
Exactly I cant use it for the majority of my needs. If i could export the whole report to pdf this would be such a useful tool. Instead its pretty much a toy for me. It clearly wasnt designed to report to clients or take to meetings.
I agree and yet I disagree. I believe it was designed to report, its just that we are all a little too entrenched in having a paper copy. I believe that a smaller more agile report is better and yet TPTB want the long details . . . which can't be printed using the current functionality. Right now most of my reports work just fine in the digitial world but there are still a handful of people who absolutely must have the paper copy. That means I maintain two reports, one in BI and one in PowerPivot. But hey, at least they are easy to build and maintain.
