Export to Excel - Add Custom Icon?

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to add custom icon to a report, which when clicked, would have the same functionality as the 'export to excel' feature?

Hi, @Anonymous 

It is unsupported to add custom icon to a report which has the action of exporting data from a specific visual to excel in Power BI currently.

Here are the options for button actions:

• Back returns the user to the previous page of the report. This is useful for drill-through pages.
• Bookmark presents the report page that's associated with a bookmark that is defined for the current report. Learn more about bookmarks in Power BI.
• Drill through navigates the user to a drill-through page filtered to their selection, without using bookmarks. Learn more about drill-through buttons in reports.
• Page navigation navigates the user to a different page within the report, also without using bookmarks. See Create page navigation in this article for details.
• Q&A opens a Q&A Explorer window.

For further information, you may refer to Use buttons in Power BI . I'd like to suggest you post a new idea in Idea Forum and add your comments there to improve Power BI for making this feature coming sooner.

Best Regards

It's not, no.  If the export were on the report (page) level, how would PowerBI know which visual you wanted to used as the source of the export?

@jdbuchanan71Tableau allows you to do so through a link directly to the visual....

Makes sense, not a capability in PowerBI currently.
