Export data to excel

I'm trying to export data to Power BI.
However, the Export Data button is not active.
Please let me know what I need to do to activate that button.

Visual Calculations (preview) disable that option.
-> @ToddChitt I'm using visual calculations to edit the date elements of the table.

(There are no other visualization calculations.)
* Dax code : a = DATE(YEAR([a_real]), MONTH([a_real]), DAY([a_real]))

 

Is there a way to avoid exporting the powerbi visualization object table data?

@MFelix The method you mentioned has already been applied, but it remains the same problem

Hi @evelyn0111 ,

According to Microsoft documentation. It's a limitation.
Using visual calculations in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
You cannot export data from a visual that uses visual calculation.

 

If you want to make it possible, please find the idea and vote on it or create it here.

Please describe the ENTIRETY of the visual you are trying to Export Data to. 

Some things may prevent that option.

For example: Visual Calculations (preview) disable that option.
