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.

What seems like a basic feature and is really required - looking forward to progress on this one.

RE: Allow Table and Matrix Data Exports to Match PowerBI Visual

Has anyone come up with a workaround for this using a 3rd party product?

Everyone vote as much as possible to put this on the top of the ideas. Maybe when its the top voted idea will they see we need this feature and understand how much we all want this.

This needs to be added as a feature. We currently use Analyze in Excel, but it is not an efficient solution for many.

RE: Allow Table and Matrix Data Exports to Match PowerBI Visual

We are currently migrating a number of reports to Power BI whilst testing that the data matches, discovered that I cannot export the data into excel as a matrix - the other reporting tool used exported perfectly.

This means that we will need to work on the excel document which is adding extra time .. I was extremely surprised that I could not export a very simple matrix......

Can you please add more detail on the suggested workaround in the Backlog response above? I don't understand what it means and how I would implement this. Thanks.

A valid reason for users to be upset. This request has been ongoing for such a long time and is part of the top 10 ideas now and microsoft still can't comment on a timeline. They probably can't get it right like Qlikview has. Not sure what reason for the lack of communication on this feature is Sujata. Your Team really needs to look into this. Users are really frustrated.

Are there any updates on this feature since January? This is critical and, from a user standpoint, basic missing functionality between two Microsoft products.
