There needs to be a way to print tables which have too many rows as to fit on one page. Additionally, the inclusion of filters and data slicers should be at the top of each printed table/matrix so the user knows what he is looking at.

Paginated reports are designed for printing tables and matrices that are multiple pages long or wide. Consider using a paginated report for tables you want to print.

Need the ability to print with page breaks and to repeat certain visualizations at the top of each page, similar to what you'd do in Excel with headers.

RE: Proper Printing of Tables

Printing tabular tables that include all rows is extremely needed in my organization. Without this capability we need to default to excel! Please add ASAP.

This facility is essential to our organisation to enable power bi to be effective otherwise we will have to continue using Excel to produce our reports

This is a must for tabular reports. I can email reports, but only see the data available on screen. This need to be available sooner rather than later.

Required ! All our reports are pdf based and when we try moving from Excel to PowerBI this is becoming a show stopper. WIthout the option to export with all the contents, the table feature with scroll seems less useful.

RE: Proper Printing of Tables

This is also required here as part of Internal Controls Definition. We need to prove to audit which input data we used to generate the report result (completeness verification). With the 'old' Excel way colleagues used to print the excel sheet with all input data to pdf file. In Power BI we see the scroll bar in the generated pdf but cannot verify the data locked behind the scrolling. If the scroll bar would be functional within the PDF - that would be sufficient as all relevant data would be acessable for auditors (without workarounds).

RE: Proper Printing of Tables

this is turning out to be a show stopper for us as well... not all clients have the knowledge to export data and user pivot tables in Excel to achive the format needed to print the reports which extend from the page view and cause them to scroll.
