change the format of the attachment in subscription

[emveha]

hi,

when i select the option subscription of a report, it is not possible to select a format for my output like xls or pdf or... and you will get an png file as output.

Is there a way to change this?
hope someone knows how to change this.

thanks

Hi @emveha,

there is an option to change to format of the attachment to PDF or PPTX, but you have to meet the below criteria to be able to do that:

The full report attachment feature is available for reports that meet these three conditions:

• They're in an upgraded workspace with Power BI Premium or Premium Per User.
• The attachment file is under 25 MB in size.
• The report has fewer than 20 pages.

Taken from the documentation: Subscribe yourself and others to reports and dashboards in the Power BI service.

Hi Nicky,

interesting post and if i read well, then i need to upgrade to the premium version as we are still in PRO....

Pro does not come with these options...

Ok, thanks will discuss this within company.
