It would be nice if there is an option to have a scheduled export of a report to PDF. A nice to have feature would be to directly e-mail it to people so they are being notified of the latest report.

Another update on this item - users now have the ability to set up scheduled subscriptions with paginated reports and 6 different formats, along with parameters per subscription to allow further personalization. There is also now the ability to create paginated reports against any Power BI dataset in the service, and we're planning to add drillthrough from Power BI to Paginated Reports in the short term. We still have plans to support e-mail attachments for Power BI reports as well in the coming months, and we'll share more specifics once we get closer to starting that work.

Allowing automation of a report to Excel/CSV while passing a filter would be really useful, along with scheduling options and refresh checks.

I'd also really like to have an auto-export of an Excel file of a data table from within a report. This would actually be more useful. Anyone can go look at the Power BI file for seeing a report if they don't have a pdf, but if we could auto-export an Excel file to a SharePoint location, I could use that export as a data source for other Power BI reports.
RE: scheduled export of a report to pdf
it could be useful to have the subscription report using the RLS of each individual user we are sending the report and not only according to the security of the subscriber (ie: I am an admin that setup a subscription and which the users to only receive the report according to their rights).
It could also be useful to have secured images on on-premise servers that are exported in PDF or other properly. currently it s an error box !!!
RE: scheduled export of a report to pdf
Last request around this, having the option to execute the subscription according to other refresh. For example, we are using a scheduler but this is already impossible to administer the PBI dataset refresh properly and schedule the launch of the report just after.
Only current workaround: knowing the average time required for the dataset to refresh, taking some marging and planning the launch of the reports afterward. But in case of dataset refresh error or dataset refresh that took more time than expected, all report will have the incomplete figures of not totally wrong.
All this to be able to use PBI as a whole on a global and WW scaled company instead of on-premise platform to avoid all these missing functionalists
RE: scheduled export of a report to pdf
Hi Team, similar to other reactions, i was simply amazed to find out that subscriptions currently only deliver .png format (for PBI Pro users). Other BI tools can export to pdf/excel/csv/html... It's really a step back for a user community that is used to features like that.
I see your latest update dates July 16, 2019. Would you have more news in the meantime? Thx.
RE: scheduled export of a report to pdf
This is just basic functionality that everyone else has. You shouldn't have to purchase a list of SKUs beyond that of what is supposedly a 'power' app. Automating a .pdf, .csv, .xlsx file should, at the very least, be an option. These are basic file types that many use every day. I get it if the free version didn't have this very basic functionality. But, once you charge someone for something like this, to exclude this very basic functionality is ridiculous. especially when you call it a 'power' app.

Is this in Premium or Service?
