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.

RE: Allow Table and Matrix Data Exports to Match PowerBI Visual
Been + two years since this idea was posted - as per the comments this is a must for business users!
RE: Allow Table and Matrix Data Exports to Match PowerBI Visual
As many other users already commented, export Power BI reports/matrix to Excel or PDF with proper format is a basic feature of many established BI tools. We are losing business users because of the lack of this feature. Can this be worked as the first priority?
RE: Allow Table and Matrix Data Exports to Match PowerBI Visual
This request is a very basic function and part of the sell in power bi is you can provide the information but retain control of the data , however if the only way you let people get finished tables out for inclusion in other reports, work etc is to export potentially misleading data tables, then it is a serious issue. It simply needs be like the copy table function , copy what is the data displayed at the time , no other data , no drill downs, no formulas just a simple capture of the matrix table as it is shown. basic formatting would be great but not even essential.
RE: Allow Table and Matrix Data Exports to Match PowerBI Visual
Export to Excel is one of many half-baked feature found in Power BI that kills it's adoption.

Please prioritize this feature
RE: Allow Table and Matrix Data Exports to Match PowerBI Visual
I dont know what excuse to give my business users regarding this seemingly obvious feature.
RE: Allow Table and Matrix Data Exports to Match PowerBI Visual
Our field people always exports the data into excel . They had to pivot the data every day they import the data. Must need feature.

Celebrating 2 years anniversary of this post.
RE: Allow Table and Matrix Data Exports to Match PowerBI Visual
agree we really need this feature
RE: Allow Table and Matrix Data Exports to Match PowerBI Visual
The absence of this feature or even a simple ability to do a copy similar to the copy-table in tables is very frustrating to all users. everyone is right these types of omissions simply make power bi a 2nd rate product when used by the real world. we move our people to products like power bi to save them time and keep them focused on the real task but having to then recreate and manipulate data simply defeats the purpose.
