Export R visual manipulated data not the underlying data

Hi,

So I've created some tables and graphs in power BI using R. 

I want to be able to export the results that appear in the tables after various functions have been applied in the R code not the underlying original table. The export option shown in the photo just sticks the original table columns in excel. image.png

Is this possible either on the desktop or online?

Thanks,

Cambell

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Yes, it is possible since the last update, the October one. 

You can determine if you want to download the underlying data or not in the options menu:

Hope it is what you needed!
