Excel Export - Data with Current layout option is not available in Desktop Version
- Anonymous4 years ago
Hi melvin9900 ,
Exporting data from a report visual in Power BI Desktop is straightforward. When you export the data, Power BI creates a .csv file with the data.
- Select the visual, select More options (...) > Export data.
- In the Save As dialog box, select a location for the .csv file, and edit the file name, if you want.
- Select Save.
My service version: 13.0.18578.34

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.

Why is this marked as a solution when in reality it is not?
There is NO OPTION to export in current layout for DESKTOP. The question is asked in DESKTOP sub-section. Correct answer would be exactly stating the previous: "it's not possible to achieve".
