This is an extension of https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/6806294-allow-proper-printing due to the fact that if an idea is marked completed, I haven't yet seen Microsoft checking to evaluate any feedback on that release. I went to use the print button and all the visualizations were messed up on the printouts and there's no way to get a print preview to see if visualizations,etc are situated as they need to be. If there is a way to do this, it's not obvious to the user.

RE: Proper dashboard printing
I cannot believe there is no printing option. Just invested 2 days in learning Power BI, now it is useless because I cannot print my report.
What is the idea behind this? I cannot image MSFT didn't thought about printing. So there must be a mysterious way that leaving out a print option, generates more money for MSFT.
RE: Proper dashboard printing
The printing function on the site is very buggy, especially if in focus mode, but more importantly, we need to get data out in a clean easy way. Desired functionality would allow us to print multiple pages of data from a single visual (table/matrix). I would like to avoid sending users to the export data button to have them re-format in excel. As well, sending them to the analyze in excel function turns power bi into just a database, which I am trying to avoid. Any updates on work in progress? Is this at least on the team's radar?
RE: Proper dashboard printing
Any updates to this? I am new to PBI and have the same issue as Adam. All my visuals are jumbled up and even repeated on the next page (although they are much smaller). The interactive dashboard is AWESOME but my PM's need to be able to print a useful report (shot of the dashboard).
RE: Proper dashboard printing
Can Power BI please respond to this ? The last feedback was almost 3 months ago. This has to be one of the most requested fixes in in recent months. Please read the forums. A lot of disgruntled users.
RE: Proper dashboard printing
This would be a huge feature for us, If there is a reason why Microsoft don't want this could they at least explain the reason behind it?
RE: Proper dashboard printing
This seems like a basic feature that is missing.
It would be an excellent addition if included.
RE: Proper dashboard printing
Without this feature, PowerBI is basically useless for me. This should be a top priority in my opinion. Add Print to PDF or Multiple Page Printing!
RE: Proper dashboard printing
Yes, please! (At minimum let us export to PDF.)
RE: Proper dashboard printing
Hi,
I strongly agree with Adam's idea.
Printing option is not that helpful for now. Can we get an update for this please? Like adding print preview and printing button in the power BI offline. It would really be helpful and relevant improvement for this tool.
Thanks.
RE: Proper dashboard printing
Thanks for the feedback. I'm following up on why this idea was marked as completed.
