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

Like others have commented here, printing of tables (the full table, not just whats visible on the screen) is a key function of any reporting system. Saving the reports to PDF or printing needs to include all the data, not just the rows of the table that are visible at the time otherwise its pointless. Now need to go back and recreate the visuals and table in excel until this is fixed...

Being able to print a report is a basic function, and absolutely needs be be implemented. Will have to go back to Crystal Reports if this isn't implemented.

We need to be able to export more than 15 pages to Powerpoint or select the tabs we want to either print or export to PPT.

Is a must have feature. Being able to print or export to PDF all rows in the report. Not only the ones that show on the screen.
Make the print layout (settable to) flexible size to print the actual number of rows.
Please vote to give this feature attention.

RE: Proper Printing of Tables

Also when you have filters on the page itself for users to manipulate data easily and you are sorting your tables by value, when the user filters something then removes it, on tables it doesn't default back to the top of the table.

RE: Proper Printing of Tables

In my case, this feature is a must simply because when you want to share data/report to someone who has no access to PowerBI or 0365 - you could via PDF or PowerPoint!

RE: Proper Printing of Tables

Unfortunate that the printing options are so simplistic. Seems pretty backward to have to export the data into Excel and have to re-format everything again to be able to print more than one page worth of table.

An ability to include table filters would also be a great addition.
