Power BI currently has no way to print tiles where the data scrolls out of the current view (Examples would be Horizontal Bar Charts and Matrix views with say 800 lines or rows of data). You can only print what is currently on screen, manually scroll down, print again, repeat, etc. Very laborious. I have a client who would like to easily print out all the rows. This leads into a second issue with Power BI.

First comment and question from my users:
Wow! This is really nice ... now, How can I print this report?

RE: Print options

Basically what we wanted from the print options (but all we got was a set of screen grabs wrapped in a pdf).

RE: Print options

Power BI needs to be able to print all the data in a list or matrix. Power BI is fine for looking at the overall data or finding a specific record on a giant list via filters. But when you need to print the entire list, it's simply inadequate in its current state. The workarounds are timeconsuming and not practical.

I would be very happy if this was put into Power BI.

RE: Print options

This will stop deployment of the tool.

RE: Print options

This is such a deal breaker for Power BI. It should be integrated from the beginning.

Current functionality is just not enough. ALL my customers ask me directly; ‘how do I print’?

And as I often use a matrix the data can easily be larger then just one page.

RE: Print options

I have a table with too many rows that come out of view and need to print all the view. I tried expanding the table and the page to view them all, but I reached the limit of the page height and still cannot view all of the rows in the page. The way around it is to scroll the page to the new view and print individually, but for my clients that's not an efficient method. Please consider adding more printing options.
