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:
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.

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.
