Currently the data-export option is hidden in an invisible ellipsis. One needs to know where that invisible ellipsis is, then they need to hover over it, then they can click it, and finally they can see that this is where they can choose the "Export" option. In my experience, exporting data is a pretty common task, so I don't understand why you go to such great lengths to make it difficult to find.

RE: Make the data export buttons VISIBLE

A simple button to export a table is really needed in my opinion.Creating a Power automate button works for only 1000 rows, which is really not useful at all.

No good workarounds except for Power Automate. I have received multiple requests for making export more intuitive from PowerBI Reports

I agree - the only available workaround is to use Power Automate but that isn't compatible with PaaS.

This could be action in the current button. After selection the action choose which table in a tab it applies to. Also make export work when header in not shown. Visual header is annoying but I need to keep it on because people want to be able to export data.

Please make the export button MORE VISIBLE... Tired of teaching this to end users.

It's definitely urgent introducing this BUTTON to be able to easily spread and share our PowerBi Dashboards to every basic or expert users.

It's definetely a great idea and we would like to see it implemented as soon as possible.
Customers find really difficult to use the drop down menu and would like to have a specific export function button.
