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.

The absence of this feature or even a simple ability to do a copy similar to the copy-table in tables is very frustrating to all users. everyone is right these types of omissions simply make power bi a 2nd rate product when used by the real world. we move our people to products like power bi to save them time and keep them focused on the real task but having to then recreate and manipulate data simply defeats the purpose.

agree - a major roadblock preventing us using Power BI

This is a major roadblock for our implementation of Power BI across the business. Our existing users are unwilling to give up their old BI tool if Power BI is unable to provide this basic functionality. Any updates on this item's status, since it is listed as backlogged?

Really would appreciate this, since my matrix report contains text values.

This is such a shame we don't have it yet today. For visual I can understand the complexity, but this isn't even available for views in table-format!

Seems like it's in the backlog for two months already, any updates?

Pivot tables are basic features for most reporting tools and is expected to be exported as-is into Excel or PDF formats.

What is the timeline for this?

This idea has been backlogged for a couple of months now, is there any update on it? In most BI systems this would be standard practice so please release this update soon.
