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

Hi, this is something requested more and more by our customers..

It's great to provide a nice experience through Power BI, but then, if they need to play with the data in Excel, exporting a Matrix will show a row data table, and they will need to create a pivot table (they don't always have sufficient knowledge to do that).

Having the possibility to export to excel the fields as they appear in the matrix is a must have nowadays.

Thank you

Hello Microsoft. When can we have this feature? At least provide a timeline.

This is a standard option with your competitor, Tableau. This should have been available day one. Why the continued delay? Why the disconnect so often between related Microsoft products?

We need this feature. We have spent hours creating these visuals in PBI and need this to export. This will be an improvement that show the true benefits of PBI

Thanks

What I found as a workaround for now is:

1)Publish report to power BI online service
2)Pin it as a live dashboard to the Power BI online service
3)Use the print option and then use the Print to PDF option.
4)Use a PDF to Excel converter to get the data just as I want it in Excel.
