I have volumes of information to share with my teams that is best presented in tables and matrices. It would be a huge improvement if they were able to export the data from the visualizations and have the formatting in Excel match the formatting created within PowerBI.

This would be especially helpful for ongoing forecasting activities.

A must have! The lack of this functionality is creating a lot of inefficiencies for our team. Please address ASAP!

Extremely shocked and disappointing to see that a functionality like this is still unavailable come 2020.

This option is absolutely necessary.
We do not use Power BI as a data visualisation only, we should be able to do some Excel exctract in order to share the results with external third parties an allow them to consolidate data from other suppliers/ clients etc ....

Looking forward to have the option available

very disappointing this feature doesn't work yet. Will need to create report in another product in order to use

Won't be able to make the switch from QlikView to Power BI until this one is solved, really need to be able to export a Matrix or a table and maintain its exact formatting, have too many users who need this.

All of our Power BI user complaints go like this...

User: "We want to print the reports but only the first page prints.....then we tried exporting the data and then it looks nothing like the report. How do we send the report?!"

Me: "....We can go back to Report Builder"

This one is critical. Sad to see it backlogged.

Need this feature. We are dead in the water without it and might need to explore Tableau.
