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.

"we suggest using the Export to PDF capabilities in Power BI Desktop for Report Server".
So our 6000 Users need to install Desktop? Are you serious? Or just smoking bad things?

RE: Export Report Server Power BI report to PDF

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.

Guys, are you serious? PBI Report Server is dead with this announcement.

RE: Export Report Server Power BI report to PDF

This turn of events is seriously jeopardizing PBIRS's chances in the PoC I am working on. I'm working for a financial institution that is far from ready for the cloud based Power BI. Had Microsoft provided this simple capability, my customer would have been secured in using PBIRS until they are ready for the cloud based service. Instead, this will force them to consider alternatives...

RE: Export Report Server Power BI report to PDF

Export to HTML with scrolling and filtering will be VERY helpful.

Gotta like the April Fools aspect ... for those who haven't noticed this feature is now on the server edition, not just desktop anymore!
