Scheduled (time-based) subscriptions for your reports

I'm a huge fan of this feature of SQL Server Reporting Services, so it's nice to see that it's now available in Power BI Service too.  What it allows you to do is to email reports to people according to a pre-set schedule.  For example you could create these subscriptions:

You can create up to 24 subscriptions for each report, allowing you to send hourly updates should you so choose!

What you get when Power BI sends a report out 

Here's what the above request comes through as:

The report email as it hit my inbox.

The attachment is just a picture of this page of the report:

So it's a fairly basic implementation, but it could easily change someone's working life!
