The lay-out of printed dashboards and report pages is lost when you print the page. Proper printing functionality is still missing (may 2018). In my humble opinion this should be a priority.

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards and report pages

Agree with this. There should be capability to paginate the reports as needed for proper printing.

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards and report pages

Trying to switch from Tableau to Power BI but just ran into the whole "any reports with scrolling data will only show the one page with the scrollbar" issue when trying to print to PDF. I really, really need it to print all the data included in the scroll.

The proper printing of dashboards and report pages works in Tableau and it is a HUGE problem not to be able to print multiple dashboard pages and full data matrix in Power BI. I have to stick with Tableau until that is fixed.

I can't believe this is not fixed yet. It's been over a year that it's been brought to Microsoft's attention and they still have done nothing about it. If they fix this issue, this product will actually be extremely useful.

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards and report pages

Power BI is a very useful tool for my current work. Not being able to print the data does limit my ability to review the information in a way that I feel is beneficial to me.

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards and report pages

Agreed common complaint is that users just want to be able to print what they see on the dashboard which is not possible when scrollbars are involved

Power BI Embedded needs better printing / exporting options like in the service which supports RLS. Also would be useful to have the option to print full visualisations like tables even if they need to be scrolled on the page (print long table)

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards and report pages

This is definitely required business case. Executives do no want to log into power bi or can't always log into power bi - hence email export of dashboard content would work better.
