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.

It kinda defeats the whole purpose of having these aggregated tables, if you can't pull out the values you produce...

Just found that if I export the table from power BI and create another matrix using qlikview then this matrix can be exported in the format created.

Its using a different product but may save some time whilst we wait for the feature to be made available in Power Bi.

Really need this feature, i have spent a lot of time creating a matrix to suit our business requirements. Disappointing to find that when exporting, the data is not in the same format as the matrix created. PLEASE CAN WE HAVE THIS ADDED ?

Exporting to excel is the only way we can print a large set of data from Power BI. The fact that it does not keep the same format means that for users who lack excel skills they cannot print their data in an appropriate format.

Just about to begin implementation of Power BI but if this feature isn't available it doesn't make sense for us to use Power BI

This is a deal breaker for my company in the adoption of Power BI
