Auto-Reports emailed as Paint and not PowerPoint

[Anonymous]

Hello,

When my reports get emailed out they can be seen either in the app (for those with the paid license), or in paint. 

Is there any way to have it sent as a PowerPoint or a PDF? Others in my organization aren't a fan of it getting sent to them in paint.

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous ,

Have you tried using Power Automate (previously called "Flow")?  You could combine a Power BI "print to PDF" with an automated Outlook email.

hi  @Anonymous 

Scheduling of reports is coming soon to Power BI and that includes paginated reports created with Power BI Report Builder reports. The downside for Report Builder is it requires a Power BI Premium license, which can be expensive for some organizations.

Another option is a 3rd party app called Power BI Robots. https://www.powerbitiles.com/?app=PBIRobots
