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/

Ability to export whole Report, for example a matrix, to bring a hardcopy to a meeting.. not all users have tablets..

Agreed! This is the only reason we have to maintain another set of reporting tools at this time.

Please add this! It's 2019, we should be able to automatically send Excel reports on a schedule.

Hi there, the feature is still broken - it only prints what's on screen - not the whole report. That can't be right?

Yes yes yes - same here, but every day. If there was some way to export the data once daily automatically it would be a massive improvement.

Great News.

This would be tremendously useful functionality for our organization.
