Hi @ashmitp869 

Currently, exporting reports with formatting settings beyond a table structure is not supported.
The alternative is to export
POWER POINT / PDF
You can also build a report using a Paginated reports
Here is an initial video for introducing paginated Reports:

Or use an inforiver visuals , but they are for pay :

I think currently exporting with formatting seeting is not available in Power BI Matrix/Table charts.
You can refer to this for more information - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/power-bi-visualization-export-data?tabs=powerbi-d...
