Allow proper printing of Dashboards and report pages
The lay-out of printed dashboards and report pages is lost when you print the page. Proper printing functionality is still missing (may 2018). In my humble opinion this should be a priority.

Agree with this. There should be capability to paginate the reports as needed for proper printing.

Trying to switch from Tableau to Power BI but just ran into the whole "any reports with scrolling data will only show the one page with the scrollbar" issue when trying to print to PDF. I really, really need it to print all the data included in the scroll.

The proper printing of dashboards and report pages works in Tableau and it is a HUGE problem not to be able to print multiple dashboard pages and full data matrix in Power BI. I have to stick with Tableau until that is fixed.

I can't believe this is not fixed yet. It's been over a year that it's been brought to Microsoft's attention and they still have done nothing about it. If they fix this issue, this product will actually be extremely useful.

Power BI is a very useful tool for my current work. Not being able to print the data does limit my ability to review the information in a way that I feel is beneficial to me.

Agreed common complaint is that users just want to be able to print what they see on the dashboard which is not possible when scrollbars are involved

Power BI Embedded needs better printing / exporting options like in the service which supports RLS. Also would be useful to have the option to print full visualisations like tables even if they need to be scrolled on the page (print long table)

Need to be able to print all rows and row totals for entire table!

This is definitely required business case. Executives do no want to log into power bi or can't always log into power bi - hence email export of dashboard content would work better.

need a way to iterate over the report data and print entire table by filter. say you are using account numbers, the table data would have all account numbers, but the iterative reports, output, would be by account number. and all table data, visible and non-visible would print,

Currently, I have a nice background in Power BI reports, but when trying to print from the Power BI service the background images gets cropped and moved down at the bottom of the page. Same happens when exporting to PDF.

Printing may not be the most important function, but it cannot be that bad thought, right?

Seconding this comment:
"printing means all items in the report (even records that go across multiple pages) are rendered appropriately to be printed out."
We have to have a way to print everything in a long running table. A table has to be able to be set to span multiple pages, with headers on each page.
It is mission critical for our use case with clients, they require printed reports for executive meetings.

I agree that Tableau is 1000% better than Power BI in printing and exporting, if we could get a exporting and printing functionality as same as SSRS then no doubt in moving to Power BI from Tableau.
We are pushing back Power BI due to lack of exporting functionality.
this should be a high priority than others.

Printing and exporting static reports is one area where Tableau is vastly superior to Power BI. In fact, its enough of a benefit to switch back to that product.

its simple...printing means all items in the report (even records that go across multiple pages) are rendered appropriately to be printed out.
if you can do it in SSRS, why is this so hard?
