    Ctrl P does not do a good job of printing the dashboard. Provide a Print button which optimises printing perhaps defaulting to the filters & title on page 1 and the dashboard sheets in landscape on pages 2 to n+1

    How export to csv/pdf/excel etc.. is not in Power Bi already I will never know. This is one of the most basic requirements and makes Power Bi (a great and promising product) pointless for most organisations to implement. I can only assume its by design as Microsoft / some numnut stuck in the past wants to force everyone to buy on premise versions of SQL 2016...

    You can add Print and Export as an option for author of the report - to allow thi function for users of the report

    PDF output at least is a requirement. Sometimes you need to communicate to individuals that for whatever reason can't use the app.

    This is a basic functionality that our users are asking for.

    RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards

    I would add that it would be useful to be able to export a dashboard and its views to an Excel file (or some alternative format that lets you edit the views) and to be able to move your dashboard from one place to another. It would also be useful to export a dashboard once in a while as if you modify something at some point and something goes wrong, maybe you want to go back to a previous version of your dashboard.

    What's the point of creating reports if you can't share or print them?
