We see a trend where people enjoy Power BI for exploration, but miss the ability to print paginated listings to take to meetings. Print screens don't work when the visual has a scroll bar. So we end up maintaining SSRS reports mimicking the same functionality but paginated. It would be great if Power BI could actually generate SSRS using visuals as a source. You would have a "create report" function similar to the PPT export. A slicer would become a parameter. A table would become a listing which continues on for as many rows as the data needs. This could be similar to Mobile view where you do basic layout. All the filters would be applied to the report data set. Once the report is designed, it would be maintained with the Power BI just like the mobile views are.
