Add a Button to export to Excel file - If possible, use variable within the file name

Hello,

 

I'm trying to automate the excel file creation process from Power BI Desktop/Services. I have a dashboard with multiple slicers. I want user to be able to click a button in the dashboard that will export the file with some parameter name if possible. At least, I need to figure out how to export to an Excel sheet with a Button. Any help.tips would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Syed

Hi @moinny

 

I'm afraid there's no better way to achieve that because there're only 3 actions for buttons.It cannot be used to export to excel.You may vote for this similar idea for your requirement.
