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.

Can't edit my initial comment.

Need to add: Adding a Report Builder (paginated report) visual is not the solution. Sure, maybe a workaround. I would think that the needs of most companies can be met w/out having to develop the dashboard and a paginated report.

Copy/export the matrix (and formatting) to excel.

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

Excel is, by far, the most used app in the world for data analysis. How is that this functionality hasn't been in Power BI since inception? I mean, there are gaps and there are glaring omissions. It's safe to go with common sense on this one.

Can we please get more than a generic backlog status update? This lack of functionality/interoperability has significantly hindered our report migration.

We have many reports that have matrix visual and users want to export the data in same format.
We are moving from Tableau to Power BI and this feature is working in Tableau. This feature is really required for to complete the migration.

Can you please provide a timeline for this? Ability to take the data in the same visual form is very important.

Add this feature as soon as you can.
It will save a lot of time when exporting matrix table to Excel.
