This is really needed and will be super powerful. Please provide all the users a update at the very least.

Export to PDF and Powerpoint now carries the report's current state through... I wonder if this is a prerequisite that signals that this enhancement will be fulfilled soon?

Workaround! From your app workspace, set your filters then Share (top right) your visual or page with yourself. Open the link emailed to you in a browser. Pin this visual or page to a new dashboard within your app for distribution. You can add multiple visualizations in this way. Now subscribe users to this dashboard and they will be emailed the visuals. The schedule can be controlled by access to this new dashboard

Is there any update for when this would be planned? I don't want to implement row security per user as that seems a nightmare workaround. I don't want to make copies of every visual as that is a maintenance nightmare.

How is this not already a function guys? Come on Microsoft. Step up your game please.
Last time y'all looked at this was apparently March 31 2018, and y'all said that the feature would be enabled "soon"
