Custom Export Button through API

Anonymous — Tue, 11 Jun 2019 07:23:22 GMT

Dear Community,

Do you believe it would be possible to create a custom button on a dashboard, that exports a table's content to csv, by using the PowerBI API?

I know that basic OOTB PowerBI functionality supports this function, but I would like to make this more easy to our end-user, by hardcoding a custom filepath and thus providing a 'one-click' functionality.

Do you know if this could be done?

Re-Bump 😉

Any experienced PBI developer that can provide his view on this, whether (potentially) possible or not?

Yes this is possible.

You need to create a button that will trigger an event in the application embedding your report., from there you can use the export visual data and manipulate it as you wish.

Please accept if this is what you asked.

Thanks.
