Exporting to Excel

Hello,

 

I am trying to export a table or a matrix visual to Excel - but clicking on "Export" -> "Analyze in Excel" exports a blank pivot table. Is it possible to export the table as it is in Excel - with the columns, data the way it was when I exported it. Is it possible in Power BI? I'd really appreciate any help.

 

Thank you!

Hi @newpbiuser01 ,

 

If you could not three dots when you view the report, please make sure the "Hide the visual header in reading view" option is disabled:

I am also having this issue, and have that setting disabled. It still doesn't seem to work for me (I'm still getting a blank pivot table when I export to excel). Any ideas on how to fix this? 

Hi @Anonymous, 

That was it! Thank you so much! I have been going insane why I can't see it!

Hi @dhruvinushah,

 

I don't see the three dots next to the visual. Is there a setting I need to enable? I click on the visual and dont see it. 

 

Thank you!
