How to give name of the report to the file ,when i am exporting data into xlsx/csv from the visualization.

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.

How to change the slicer date format from month/day/year to day/month/year.

Thanks.

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

Hi , I tried changing the format of the date field but it still doesn't affect the the format in the slicer.

Thanks

OK, try just deleting the slicer and lets start from scratch!

First check the date you want to use is formatted correctly and then pop it in a new slicer and that should work.

If it still won't play ball you may want to investigate your regional settings as PowerBI does try to default to your locale, especially in the online version. However, in the desktop it should obey the formatting rules you've set. If it doesn't work please post a screenshot of your date column - we will get there, don't worry!

Date Table:

Date =

ADDCOLUMNS (

CALENDAR (DATE(2000,1,1), DATE(2025,12,31)),

"DateAsInteger", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYYMMDD" ),

"Year", YEAR ([Date]),

"Monthnumber", FORMAT ( [Date], "MM" ),

"YearMonthnumber", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYY/MM" ),

"YearMonthShort", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYY/mmm" ),

"MonthNameShort", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmm" ),

"MonthNameLong", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmmm" ),

"DayOfWeekNumber", WEEKDAY ( [Date] ),

"DayOfWeek",FORMAT ( [Date], "dddd" ),

"DayOfWeekShort", FORMAT ( [Date], "ddd" ),

"Quarter", "Q" & FORMAT ( [Date], "Q" ),

"YearQuarter", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYY" ) & "/Q" & FORMAT ( [Date], "Q" )

)

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.

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 🙂

@Anonymous @Greg_Deckler  Is there a way to automate the name for the file?
