Microsoft introduced Paginated reports into the Power suite quite some time ago but this product has been outside the reach of most users due to requirement of premium or premium per user licensing. Microsoft recently made this functionality available to Pro users.
This will reduce licensing costs by 50% for an organisation with PPU licences just to receive this type of report.
Paginated Reports take away the pain of printing from Power BI, which never really gets the desired result. Once in the service these can be scheduled and emailed which is just fantastic.
BINavigation employs paginated reports in its Management Accounting suite to generate pdfs of accounts for distribution outside an organisation or to consumers without Power BI access.
Any organisation that has used SSRS should welcome paginated reports since it is essentially the same technology. So why not consider migrating these reports to the Power platform and avoid the internal anguish of resource intensive in house databases.
