    Thanks for the reply from bhanu_gautam ,, please allow me to provide another insight:

    Hi,clayduvall 

    Thanks for letting us know your user experience. According to your case description, I do understand how frustrated you are now.

    1.First of all, if your embedding method is Power BI embedded analytics, you can try to use the following link to achieve your functionality:

    Here is a link to the documentation:

    If not, the power automate approach, as mentioned by bhanu_gautam, seems to be a more efficient way to do it.

    2.Finally, there is a possible alternative:

    You can choose to insert an icon, and then in its url place for your desired data download method link.

    Second, you can change the header icon information to make the export data option more visible to users.

    The following are related links:
