Extend the email subscriptions feature, currently in public preview, to include support for email snapshots of reports in specific filter/slicer states.

More information about the feature can be found here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/introducing-email-subscriptions-in-power-bi-stay-informed-when-it-matters/

For those that can't wait, I am using a hack that although not nice, it does work.

I create a new PBI report, using the existing report dataset as the source.

I then create report pages with filters pre-applied and I do that for every iteration of a subscription I need.

This is soooooooo badly needed. Seriously its 2022 and other BI platforms already have this. Please prioritize this. I get asked for this multiple times a day by our customers.

I can't see any mention of this in the 2021 wave 2 notes.

It's now 4 years on from saying it's coming "soon" - what's happening with this?

As more and more users get into PowerBI, this feature becomes more and more critical. Let's get on the horse Microsoft PowerBI team. Filtered Subscriptions... Filtered Subscriptions... Filtered Subscriptions. (And if one more administration posts about RLS, I'll freak out... I promise).

I am new to using subcriptions but this is a feature that I certainly need, my users are used to receiving dedicated reports from Business Objects where filtering on the prompts is default. Please let me know when 2021 release wave 2 is implemented.

It says that the feature is planned for 2021 RELEASE WAVE 2, but when browsing the plans for that wave, nothing about this feature pops up: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform-release-plan/2021wave2/power-bi/planned-features

Tableau is way ahead when it comes to subscriptions and alerts.

I really hope this feature will be released ASAP
