    Hi Team,

    When data is "Exported to Excel" from a visual, the underlying measure name is included, not the Friendly name that is setup in the report itself. This is not the case for CSV.

    For example, if I name a measure as "Slicer Selection", but rename it as "Revenue" in the report visual it would be exported as "MeasureTable[Slicer Selection]" in the Excel export. However, the CSV export has the friendly-named "Revenue" in it's export. Can this be adjusted so it's friendly across the board?

    Have the same issue with DAX measures and other fields that include a SUM calculation in the table. I have posted the bug to the Power BI Community site: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/Export-to-Excel-Measure-Name-Displayed-instead-of-Friendly-Name/idc-p/658125#M41560
