Now when we export data from matrix visual in PBI Desktop to an Excel file - the 'Total' row does not get exported to Excel though that is visible in PBI Desktop. Please fix it.

This needs to be a priority.

Together with this option, can you allow the title to be exported as well?

This would be very helpful if the export could match the visual

RE: Enable 'total row' also to be exported.

I agree, this is very disappointing this it not out of the box. I understand theory they want PBI to be an end product and not use excel however they really don't understand how users need to use the data and this results in significant manual work to copy totals. Defeats efficiencies that it is meant to promote. Many of our users refuse to use PBI because of this silly issue and are using competitor tools until it is fixed. It also currently can't do anywhere near as easily or quickly what can be done in excel or with as much control. Until PBI can provide better flexibility and ease of use, people will stay on excel and it won't replace it.

Please add this functionality, end users are always having some reasons like this to hate or adjust to PBI

How is this not already built? This is incredibly frustrating. At least allow me to copy and paste the numbers in my visualization if you're not going to let me export Total columns. There are a million use cases for this feature.
