Currently the data-export option is hidden in an invisible ellipsis. One needs to know where that invisible ellipsis is, then they need to hover over it, then they can click it, and finally they can see that this is where they can choose the "Export" option. In my experience, exporting data is a pretty common task, so I don't understand why you go to such great lengths to make it difficult to find.

Please make the export button MORE VISIBLE... Tired of teaching this to end users.

It's definitely urgent introducing this BUTTON to be able to easily spread and share our PowerBi Dashboards to every basic or expert users.

It's definetely a great idea and we would like to see it implemented as soon as possible.
Customers find really difficult to use the drop down menu and would like to have a specific export function button.

OMG! Please please please! The (...) is NOT intuitive AT ALL to many end users. Why make this so difficult!?

Yes! Please implement this as an available button to insert. This is a common request and seems a simple feature to add.

Getting requests for this functionality on a weekly basis. Would be great to have a button tied to a table/visual and if you click it, it exports the data to Excel

RE: Make the data export buttons VISIBLE

Yes please can we make a button to 'export data'. This would save so much confusion and time training.

RE: Make the data export buttons VISIBLE

My end users export data we make for them in Power BI daily. It would be nice if I could just add a Blank Button and assign an export data action to it. Please consider this. The hidden ellipses in the visual header is not easy to find for new and even seasoned users. Depending on how tight the report author stacks visuals a visual header from another visual could be prompted and frustrate the user even more.

I just want to be able to make a big shiny button that says "Export "----" data"

This is a HUGE want for my team! Please consider this in a coming update! At least the ability to create a button to do this...
