Currently, you can only export those Power BI report where total report pages are less than or equal to 50. If a report has more than 50 pages and you try to export it (PDF/PPT) you get an error message saying:

Unable to export more than 50 pages
Your report exceeds the maximum number of pages we currently support. Please reduce the number of pages and try again.

I have a huge Power BI report (more than 50 pages) and is currently embedded in a .NET application. The team is using REST API which triggers an export request on Power BI services but it fails every time as the report exceeds the maximum page limit. We have also tried various workarounds like sending export request (via API) for a limited number of pages but none of them seems to work. The 50 pages limitation supersedes everything.

We do not want to create multiple reports (with less pages) as the different sections are interlinked and this will be a mess to maintain moving further.

I have seen multiple people facing this issue, thus raising an idea here. Please upvote to get the limitation removed.

There shouldn't be any limit, regardless of how long it would take.

Is it limited to 30 slides now? Any custom add-on?

EA,
I was able to export more than 50 slide with PowerPivot on SharePoint why Power BI is limited?! This is very important to fix urgently please.

I have reports with about 250 pages. This is not a must have but a need. The report limit makes me reconsider PowerBI... And the desktop version doesn't even allow PPT exports...

This limitation seriously put the brakes on making PBI effective for the report we do. Seriously Microsoft its not rocket science on this one

RE: Power BI reports with more than 50 report pages cannot be exported

must have. Just finished a report with 26 pages. I was surprised I cannot export to PowerPoint more than 15 pages. Looks like I need to duplicate report and split the pages between 2 reports. Moreover, we run this report for 4 divisions so now we have to run it twice for each division, and combine externally before we can send it to them. What is this 15 page limit for?
