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.

Paginated reports are designed for use cases intended for print. Consider using a paginated report when you need to print.

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards and report pages
This is an extension of https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/6806294-allow-proper-printing due to the fact that if an idea is marked completed, I haven't yet seen Microsoft checking to evaluate any feedback on that release. I went to use the print button and all the visualizations were messed up on the printouts and there's no way to get a print preview to see if visualizations,etc are situated as they need to be. If there is a way to do this, it's not obvious to the user.
RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards and report pages
Hi Microsoft - printing Dashboards in Power BI is a mess that needs addressing. Please give users the ability to set print parameters as with any other other office application. We do need to save static historic data for regulatory reasons, etc
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.
RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards and report pages
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.
RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards and report pages
Hi, Please get this working. I have many clients who want to use Power Bi but will not take it if they cannot print their entire report.
RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards and report pages
Still needed!
RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards and report pages
Following over three months dedicated development to get a report stack from SSRS and Excel into PowerBI with really positive user feedback, hugely disappointed to discover that we're back to the snipping tool and PowerPoint at a final publication layer.
Please investigate this.
RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards and report pages
I send a weekly email to report users with the links to the dashboard and a PDF of the dashboard that day - it is in the smallest font believable and needs to be blown up to 800% to be readable. That seems really dumb. Can the printing be addressed, please?
RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards and report pages
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.
