Unable to Export Data with Current Layout

ibbbu-1975 — Wed, 12 Oct 2022 19:06:27 GMT

Tried to export a matrix visual data to Excel using the "Current data layout" option but as you can see it is greyed out. I have tried the following options with same results:

Create entirely new report from scratch.
Reduce Matrix to only 1 column group, as opposed to 3.
Change visual from Matrix to table
Change data source from Live Connected an SSAS tabular model to an import SQL server.

So I'm dumbfounded as to why after all the changes I still am unable to export the data in its current layout.

Using on-premise PBIRS September 2022 version.

Hi ibbbu-1975 ,

Please check if your report has touch these known limitiations:

For export from matrix visuals using Data with current layout, consider the following:
- Matrices with columns and/or values but no rows will be exported as having rows and/or values but no columns
- Matrices with only one row and/or values but no columns will be exported as table (no right border separator)
- If the Show on rows toggle is set to 'On' in Power BI Desktop for a table or matrix visual, the visual format would not be preserved when data is exported to Excel
- If the Row subtotals toggle is set to 'Off' in Power BI Desktop for a matrix visual, but the matrix visual has expanded and collapsed sections, exported data will contain subtotals for rows. To work around this issue, use the Expand | All command from the visual's context menu."

Thank you for replying. Unfortunately none of those seem to apply. I even tried to export with just a table visual and I'm still seeing the Export Data with current layout feature greyed out still. Honestly if I can just get this feature to work or just know it's a bug or a limitation with on-prem so I'm not wasting anymore time troubleshooting this.

Thanks
