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 still is not exporting as my visual looks in PBI due to the switch values to rows toggle is on. Can we get this fixed. Tableau allows you to export as the visual looks and PBI literally says export data as current layout but its like an illusion. Would really appreciate some real functionality.

Again, where is this feature located if it has been released?I have a matrix with conditional formatting which is great to view online but there is no suitable export from the many options available. None of the following options are helpful.Data with current layoutSummarized dataPDFPowerpoint

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

Where do we find (or how do we access) this functionality?If I select “export data” from the Power BI matrix visual to analyse it in Excel, Power BI attempts to export the full raw data, which is too large to export. I just want the summarised data.If I select “show as a table” I can’t find a way to export data (or copy from) the table. Pressing Ctrl A takes me back to the matrix instead of selecting all as the first step of a copy to Excel.

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

You can export to excel when using Inforiver and the exact same formatting that you see in Power BI is retained. This includes Order of columnsEntire matrix/specific row/column selectionsColumn names as edited in the visualizationRow-first/column-first export for matrix/tables with a large number of rows and columnsNumber formatting such as decimals, prefix/suffixNotes and annotationsand more.Check out this video for more details.

The export works for "simple" table (thanks for that) however it still needs to be improved: Mixed up columns and hierachies confuse the result. It would be great to have the columns in the same order.
