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.

This is a highly needed feature, which is standard in other BI-tools. Our team would appreciate it very much! Thanks in advance.

Our main use case is the distribution of data and the data visualization to our customers throu our homepage. With Tableau it is supereasy to do, it is elegant and user friendly designed to download the visual als a png-picture, powerpoint-sheet or as a pdf-document and you can get the data in csv-format.
In PowerBI we have to teach our customers to hover over the visual, to see and select the visual header so they can find the data export option.
This is really anoying! Pease add this feature and optimize the download-options on every plattform!

Tableau does this very easily for all the matrix tables that I have. Very frustrating to not be able to do the same using Power BI.

Come on, please add this feature. This is basic stuff and is a huge pain for users to reformat the data in Excel. Sort it out.

This is a major disappointment with the Power BI Service. Many simple web pages and sql reports allows the viewed data to be exported to excel with the same formatting. I really do hope this improvement can be deployed soonest as without this many customers are losing interest in Power BI.

I cant believe this hasn't been developed considering the idea itself is 4 years old. This makes it difficult to use Power BI over tableau for my business.

This is a fundamental feature... expecially for my colleagues with Mac device that cannot use powerquery in their Excel
