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.

In addition to the support we have for paginated reports already, we have started the work to support this for Power BI reports and expect it to land by the end of the calendar year in the Power BI service. Like for paginated reports, it will be a Premium feature and will be available to customers with either Premium capacity or if you have the new Premium per user license, which will be available at no cost to all users during the public preview period. You can read more about getting priority access to the public preview for your tenant at this link - https://powerbi.microsoft.com/blog/priority-access-sign-up-for-power-bi-premium-per-user-public-preview-now-available/

RE: scheduled export of a report to pdf
Unbelievable that such a fundamental feature should only be planned for Premium

RE: scheduled export of a report to pdf
Once the data load is completed I would like the ability to start a data driven subscription "automatically" from SSIS or ADF, which then sends an email with the produced report to the users concerned.

Not sure why this is not offered as it is a basic reporting function of most products

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