    That's the way i'm using for now, but i have to send to my clients the pbix file so they can open the report and go to the "Export" option, or, they have to create an powerbi service account to login, open the report and go to the export option.

    What i want is make them possible to export only with the published report link.

    But thanks for the suggestion!

      Hi Anonymous  ,

       

      Sorry for that, but I also not found an effective solution to achieve your requirement,
      perhaps you can submit the requirement to ideas and add your comments there to make this feature coming sooner : https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas

       

      Whether you share a report through PowerBI service, or send it by attaching a PBIX file to an email attachment, you cannot directly export excel. You need to open the report and choose which visual's data to export.

       

      If you have any question, please kindly ask here and we will try to resolve it.

       

      Best regards,

        Yeah, thanks for the reply though.
        And yes, I don't want them to export all the report data, only a table/matrix data.

        But I'll suggest this and hope it be done soon.
