I want to send mails to 10 partners by filter related each partners for weekly reports.
and send mail to 100 division managers by filter related each division for monthly reports.

RE: Subscribe to email snapshots of reports in *specific filter/slicer states*

Yes this is critical! But this is a BIG powerBI problem in general, viewing a report, what filters are selected? Looking at a PowerBI mobile dashboard, jee I wonder what filers are selected, looking at a PowerBI email report snapshot, hmmm I wonder what filers are selected, get emailed a PowerBI 'alerts', hmm I wonder what filers are applied to this 'alerts' value. Is it just me or this not an issue through the entire PowerBi experience?????? Microsoft I love PowerBI but PLEASE resolve this asap. Without this the user has no context to the data he is analysing, is this not the most important thing in BI, the context of information ?????

Be sure to allow for subscribing to the same report in multiple states (same report, multiple subscriptions, each with a different filter state).
