    Requesting Power BI team to include this feature of retaining the formatting of columns when Power BI reports are exported to excel.

    Just like SSRS and Paginated reports when exported to excel has the "Word wrap" and other rich formatting, we would need the same for Power BI reports when exported to excel as well.


    Thank you

    I am surprised how it was missed while available in SSR

    Formatting in excel is essential for regulatory reports, which are shared outside the organization. We do understand Microsoft's goal of doing everything within PowerBI, which we hope to achieve also one day within the organization, but there will always be external bodies to share the report with, which are not on Power BI and would need these formats
