Hello @Lora_0121 ,

 

Could you please publish to Service and export data?

In PBI Desktop it exports like that.

Hello @Lora_0121 

 

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-d...

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.

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