It would be nice if there is an option to have a scheduled export of a report to PDF. A nice to have feature would be to directly e-mail it to people so they are being notified of the latest report.

In addition to the support we have for paginated reports already, we have started the work to support this for Power BI reports and expect it to land by the end of the calendar year in the Power BI service.  Like for paginated reports, it will be a Premium feature and will be available to customers with either Premium capacity or if you have the new Premium per user license, which will be available at no cost to all users during the public preview period.  You can read more about getting priority access to the public preview for your tenant at this link - https://powerbi.microsoft.com/blog/priority-access-sign-up-for-power-bi-premium-per-user-public-preview-now-available/

Good morning,
Is there any sort of visibility as to when you think it might be ready?
Or some sort of roadmap? Thank you!

I am trying to cut over from cognos to PowerBI but without the rescheduled export function its hard to sell...

This and event driven reports or email content would fuel this thing!

Will we have the ability to turn this off for the entire organization?

Would also work if we could poll the data via REST API (similar to pushing them, which is available currently)

Any chance to consider adding Dashboard export as well?

Is there a chance to implement this for Dashboards as well?

Hi - I know several folks have asked - is there a timeline for delivery on this? I'm asking because my organization is considering purchasing Power BI Robots, and we need to make a decision. Thanks!
