Paginated reports and scheduled report distributions are the two things preventing our company from adopting Power BI fully. Our users will favor and lean towards SAP Business Objects and Tableau otherwise..

The customers I talk to say they will just keep using SSRS, or another solution, because the $5k per month for a Premium or A4 SKU is just too expensive.

Some of our management team would like to print the information in the dashboards and are not able to right now because the export to pdf capability is basically a screen shot and will only include what is on the screen. This would definitely be a huge plus for power bi.

We are providing value to our external customers (body shop owners) using KPI dashboards, they love the interaction, however at times still expect us to provide printable reports. I'd love PBI to be an all in one solution, and feel it would help spark broader adoption.

Related... asking our field reps to download and pivot a report is impossible :)

After I spend the time curating a dataset joining data from different sources, I am very limited if I can only build dashboards out of it. Sure dashboards are great for some situation, but others require operational reports. Without the ability to point SSRS to Pro data sources, then the solution is only 1/2 of the way there.

This would be a game changer, especially for smaller to mid-sized companies in which a premium capacity may be too costly...

The cost to spin up a A4 or P1 server just to test a POC for my company is too high. We need a way to at-least publish basic reports like we can publish dashboards

Please add this to the Pro license. Need this to have reporting in one place only. Managers love the dashboards I am building for the organization but some are starting to complain they need to print some of the Operational reports in the Drill through pages. It is a VERY important function for all of them.

RE: Paginated reports - please make it available in Pro as well as Premium

The license model is broken - premium should be an economical way of delivering BI 'lite' across the org. We have 60K Pro users and still can't produce a business document out of it. Embedded is also a big hurdle.
