    Display Filters when Dashboards and Reports Are Exported to Excel, Power Point, PDF, or Printed

    Without this feature I don't see how Power BI is a viable BI Platform for enterprise. If I can't export, save a PDF or print a dashboard or report with the applied filters as either a header or a footer, than the data is useless and should not be used to make trusted business decisions.

    Most every other BI Vendor provides this functionality, Magic Quadrant or not.

    Come on Microsoft I have faith.

    The PDF export from the Power BI Service doesn't consider the report filters applied through the URL of the report so the document exported doesn't reflect these filters.

    We definitely need this functionality because without it exporting a filtered page to PDF is meaningless. Regards, Jaap.

    This is a very important functionality that is missing in Power BI. For an Enterprise level BI platform this functionality is "must have". Hoping Microsoft developers understand the business importance of this functionality and thanking them in advance. Regards....Adi
