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

Fundamental to getting end users to adopt PowerBI. All of the cool features get lost if users can do basic things like print and export

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards

What is the update on this?

We're in disbelief, and expletives were used when expressing our discontent with Power BI. The only reason for reports is to share them outside of our organization so that our clients have access to their data. However, without the ability to print or export these reports, the application is useless.

I've been able to print individual tiles by logging in on the iOS app but they print as a low quality images. I hope they do add the option to print either individual tiles or whole reports and also export them as pdfs and other formats.

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards

Print or Export to PDF functionality is a deal breaker where I work. Clients demand it (for good reason) and Power BI is not fit for purpose without it.

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards

I created my first dashboard today, then realized, I can't print or share it outside my organization... seems kinda like it was a waste of time.
