paginated reports vs power bi reports

[wpf_]

I understand power bi reports and I was looking for a way to email data from a matrix to users and stumpled upon paginated report and email suscriptions.

I think i understand email suscriptions but they are limited to snapshots of reports, and I believe I need a premium suscription for users with no power bi license (please correct me if I am wrong).

But with paginated reports, i believe they are a more powerful way of presenting to users with scrolling and printing reports.  But does it require a whole need skillset to put a report together?  Or does the skillset from powerbi like using dax, measures, calculated columns, matrixes, slicers etc translate over well? Thanks.

Hi @wpf_ ,

your statements are correct so far.
Microsoft recently announced Power BI Premium per user, which might interest you in this context.

The Report Builder is used to create paginated reports and so additional know-how is required.

Take a look at this Guy In a Cube video for an impression.
