    Hi

     

    I don't think this is currently possible as the file is always exported as "data". Depending on your usecase you could investigate using a flow / automate to rename the files.

      While exporting you can change the name from "data" to anything for your visualization/table.

      If you give title to that viz and try to export data it will take your title as name for the file on its own.

      Thanks 🙂

    After my research, I'm afraid he couldn't make it in Power BI for now. You can export to Excel and then rename the Excel file.

    For your requirement, you could publish your new idea to Power BI Ideas and have this feature come sooner.

      This is a bit of a different issue, but no worries

       

      You need to change the format of your date. You can just change the format using the column tools or you can use a DAX statement to make a calculated column like FORMAT( [date] , "dd/mm/yyyy")

       

      Thanks
