Simple report needed from Microsoft Lists

Posted on by daviesap

Hello

I don't know if I am posting in the correct place, so please forgive me if so - though I would love some pointers.

I am new to Sharepoint, and not an IT professional - just a user.

I have created a Microsoft List within our Sharepoint site. All good.

However - I really need to be able to print the list / create a PDF from the data within the list.

Two types of report are needed :

A simple list - showing everything nicely formatted without pictures - and just the columns I require
A detailed page - one page per item, with images that are stored within the list.

The list only has 30 or so items, so not massive.

I would really appreciate some help getting this working - I thought it would be a standard feature within Lists, but am really struggling.

Thanks in advance and hope,

Andrew

@daviesap You will need to use a Power Automate Flow to do that. As its not very straight forward, I'm sharing a video link that explains this process.

Thanks for this - it does seem like a lot of work to create a simple report. Doesn't look like I can include images either.

Is there another Microsoft tool I should be using?

Thanks again,
Andrew

Any more suggestions? Is there a professional / someone at Microsoft I can contact for help?

Seems like AirTable and other similar apps do this out of the box

@daviesap If you want pixel perfect reports, the best option would be Paginated Reports in PowerBI. There would be a learning curve though. If you need professional help, you would be better off speaking to one of the Microsoft Service Partners.

Thanks

Just been playing with AirTable and managed to achieve what I needed within 30 minutes!

Will have to give up on Microsoft Lists

Thanks again

Two years later and still no improvements on this. A database with no formatted print capabilities. Unfathomable.
