: Exporting to Excel from Power BI
We need assistance with this, please follow along, question is at the bottom.
The only export option is listed under “Export” and the only excel option is to export data to Pivot table, which is not always ideal.
Select a data element to “Drill Through” to review Detail Report.
In the detail report when you hover your mouse next to the ß (arrow) user has the ability to see “more options”
User has a function to export the data
You are now able to export the data and it’s available in .xlsx format.
What we need to find out is what makes these two reports behave differently? In the first visualization there is no ability to select “more options” when in the detailed report. The 2nd report allows that ability and in turns allows you to export data to excel spreadsheet.
Thanks,
