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.

RE: Proper Printing of Tables

This is a critical issue for our organization as we are trying to use PowerBI as our main reporting platform. PowerBI is nice to use on-the-fly, but reports/dashboards needs to be available for PDF export, including data which are hidden with scrolling bars, in order to make it a real solution for reporting.

RE: Proper Printing of Tables

This has been an ongoing issue for my organization. Not so much that there are many rows in a table visual and that it has a scrollbar, but rather the report is scrollable itself. When downloaded to a PDF, it is one long page.

This would be a great fix. Directors would like to be able to access long reports and print with ease.

Reports should print over multiple pages, just like SAP BO.

RE: Proper Printing of Tables

Please fix this as this is really import for printing packs from PBI reports and not have tables cut off - reports should print over multiple pages if a custom size is set and not just print on one page

RE: Proper Printing of Tables

Power BI would be even more powerful if you could export to excel with all the info inages, design, etc., especially without having to utilize pivot tables.

RE: Proper Printing of Tables

Please add this as a feature! Or a way we can export tables that can print all rows instead of just the first bit before needing to scroll down for more.

RE: Proper Printing of Tables

Can't do without this functionality. At the moment I need to export tables to Excel and pivot. It makesPowerBi-reports a bit useless.

RE: Proper Printing of Tables

Change the word Tables with Reports and this request would make more sense to me. I want to print only what is on a report page, that happens to be a custom size. I tend to create reports that are optimized in width for viewing but are set to whatever height is needed to get all of the required information presented. Users will scroll down to continue viewing a report. A print requirement would be to not have to fit the entire report onto a single page.
