How to copy values

Hello,

Is there a way to copy values to the clipboard while preserving the table format or export them to Excel?

I am attaching an example image.

 

 

 

  • Hello Lora_0121 ,

     

    Could you please publish to Service and export data?

    In PBI Desktop it exports like that.

    It's not possible from Power BI Desktop file. Please refere the below comment which was available in Microsoft Power BI documentation. URL - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/power-bi-visualization-export-data?tabs=powerbi-desktop 

     

    But you can export it as-is from Power BI services. Please follow below steps.

     

    Step1: Let's say the following matrix data you want to export it from matrix chart.

    Step2: Click on ... of matrix chart and click on export data

    Step3: Then it will ask the prompt like below. Select Data Export with Current Layout and Click on Export.

    Step 5:  Now if you see the below, preserved format of table data saved in csv files as-is.

     

    I hope now you are clear.

     

    Thank you!

      The format is not preserved. Instead of the pivot format, it is exported in a column-wise layout.
