Schedule and Export Power BI Reports

1. Export Your Reports

With all your wonderful Power BI reports, you also get the capability of exporting these reports to various formats such as Excel. Reports and dashboards provide a great visualization tool. However, some of your team members may want to get ahold of actual data, and an Excel file comes in handy in such scenarios. Analysts may want to do some post-processing using this data and would welcome an Excel file to work with.

2. Create Presentations

You can also export your Power BI reports into a PowerPoint presentation. This is a nice feature if you have to share the report during a business meeting or with your clients and vendors. When you export a report into a PowerPoint presentation, each page of the report gets exported into a PowerPoint slide. This export process creates a link in the slide deck which points to your Power BI report.

3. Create a PDF

Additionally, if you need to share a Power BI report with various recipients, you can export your Power BI report into PDF format. Each page in your Power BI report will be exported as a PDF page and will be easily readable. PDFs provide additional security since they are read-only and easily shareable.

4. Tools Make Scheduling Power BI Easier
