Be able to create email subscriptions for the PBIX reports in the Report Server

We’d hoped we’d have a good way to bring this functionality to the server – however, similarly to Export to PDF, after a lengthy evaluation of all the options and required investments, we’re not planning to bring this feature to the server at this time.

This would be a really TOP nice to have. Specially for people that is travelling or management, that don't wan't to first connect to a secured VPN, then open the browser, and finally get to PBIRS portal... we would just have our organization updated in an "offline" mode via subscribing the Power BI Reports.

Without this feature, I will not have support to put this in a production environment.

Need a Subscription feature which is like currently available in SSRS.

Its critical for us to have the ability to do 1) subscription delivery extension to Window Folder and SharePoint Doc Library 2) data driven subscription before we can consider moving paginated SSRS to PBIRS.

Microsoft should just abandon this half-excel, half-report builder thing called power bi. They should just go and acquire Tableau already. Lol

This would be a great function to schedule a report to PDF or Excel like in SSRS

It will be very useful to get visually rich PowerBI reports, emailed on regular schedule to subscribed business user emails.

RE: Email subscriptions for Power BI reports in Report Server

As others have stated, would be great to subscribe to a power bi report much like paginated reports. You don't need the same export features as paginated reports but a simple export to image or pdf would be awesome. I am having to print each power bi report to pdf saving it as a name then emailing manually to our stakeholders. Putting this on a schedule would save so much effort.
Users want to interact with the reports but they also have a need to see the report in an email.

Maybe also have an option to subscribe to a page, more than 1 page, or all pages in a report.

Keep doing the great things you are doing with the current preview release. I appreciate you and your team's efforts.

The ability to subscribe oneself to reports, and the ability for administrators to subscribe other users to reports would very useful.
