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

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards

As many have written here, I agree that this isn't completed, and is high priority for the development of Power BI.

Therefore I created a new idea where you can vote, that's not set to "Completed":

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards

Please add this feature. Without this PBI is useless...

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards

Very nice visualizations and easy to filter the results, but very hard to export the visuals based on the filtered results. Please improve printing and export to powerpoint options and make it possible to export-print visuals from multiple pages and with filters applied. And note that exporting/printing visuals with current filters applied should not require Edit permissions.

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards

Printing focused visualisations across multiple pages (i.e. showing all data/rows in the output) is essential!

Embarassing. Really need to be able to print from a publish-to-web report. Someone comes in and customizes and the first thing they want to do is show someone their results on FB or Insta and... booo. Please fix!

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards

It is still Ctrl +P!

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards

Don't know what is completed, yes you can print, now you can't use the output.

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards

Printing in Focus Mode essentially needed!
