    When exporting a file to excel, the file name is always "data.xlsx."

    Would be more useful if the export took the name of that report, that tile, or that dashboard instead

    As an extension to this, having the report name (and/or any selected filter names) cascade to the Excel tab name may be helpful.

    It would also be great to be able to provide a sheet name within the Excel export as well

    and also appending date to the file name is useful.
