Hide/Show Column in Table Visual Matrix on Report
Why do they need to export the data to look at it? Can it be seen in power BI? What do they get that is different when exported that they don’t get in power BI? Have you considered using Analyze in Excel?
MattAllington - they need to export the data because they make notes on each row during review sessions. We've tried to explore solutions where they make the notes in another form (i.e.: sharepoint, separate excel file...) while viewing the results on the report on-screen but have been hammered with negative feedback about the experience of having to have 2 documents open and lined up (read results from row 24, make notes in row 24 in the 2nd document...).
I have not explored Analyze in Excel as our users do not have Power BI Pro licenses.
So how do they access the reports if they don't have pro licences? Presumably Power BI Premium.
Have you tried Export to PDF or PowerPoint? There is also some commenting features in Dashboards, but I doubt that will do it for you. I suspect there is not currently a simple solution.
