    Please add the capability to export Report Server PowerBI reports to formats like pdf, word, powerpoint. Some of this functionality exists in the service but please add it to Report Server.

    We'd hoped we'd have a good way to bring this functionality to the server - however, after a lengthy evaluation of all the options and required investments, we're not planning to bring this feature to the server at this time. As a workaround, we suggest using the Export to PDF capabilities in Power BI Desktop for Report Server.

    This feature (export ot Excel) has to be there. Else Business users will not be using the tool.

    This is very disappointing.
    I do not see how a tool can be considered for large, non-cloud orientated, organisations without this kind of feature.
    Microsoft you really need to re-think your strategy.

    "we suggest using the Export to PDF capabilities in Power BI Desktop for Report Server".

    PLEASE add the feature. really useful for top management. If not PDF, then at least provide option to export in excel format (not .csv) with formatting same as source.
