How to hide a column when exporting a visual to csv

Hi everyone,

 

1- I have a line chart that includes some measures on the 'Secondary Y-axis.' When I export the visual to a CSV file, the resulting sheet includes the columns from the 'Secondary Y-axis.' Is there a way to exclude those columns from the export? Those measures are for calculations and should not be visible as a data.

 

2- When exportig, I can see all the rows only when I choose the CSV option. If I select .xlsx, it shows just one aggregated row. Is there a way to make the .xlsx file display the same result?

 

Thanks!

Hi @hoosha_11 

 

1. Power BI does not currently support hiding specific columns when exporting to a CSV file, consider removing them from the visualization before exporting.
2. Select Export Data from Power BI Service and choose 'Underlying data' instead of 'Summarized data' in More Options.
