Any updates, please? Having the ability to set the filters and even better, apply formulas to date ranges would make this feature way more usable!

We have solved the problem of automated report generation and distribution. BI Helper https://bihelper.tech, our cloud-based solution, uses Power BI Service (or other browser-based reporting) to generate multi-page PDF or PPTX reports with user-defined slicers applied to all pages.

The entire report (PDF / PPTX) is attached to an html email and sent to a defined mailing list, with contact email IDs mapped to slicer values. This ensures that reports are delivered ONLY to the intended recipients.

Users can define a campaign, configure its parameters and run it themselves. Campaign monitoring and reporting is implemented to ensure a ‘sleep well’ user experience.

Mail us at contact@bihelper.tech to schedule a demo.

This is really needed and will be super powerful. Please provide all the users a update at the very least.

Export to PDF and Powerpoint now carries the report's current state through... I wonder if this is a prerequisite that signals that this enhancement will be fulfilled soon?

Workaround! From your app workspace, set your filters then Share (top right) your visual or page with yourself. Open the link emailed to you in a browser. Pin this visual or page to a new dashboard within your app for distribution. You can add multiple visualizations in this way. Now subscribe users to this dashboard and they will be emailed the visuals. The schedule can be controlled by access to this new dashboard
