Dear Anonymous , thank you for these interesting insights.

Do you (or someone else) maybe know if it is possible to change the default for data export options via registry or user.zip?

    Hello IMett ,

     

    unfortunately your setting is a Report setting within PBI Desktop, therefore I can't imagine that you can manage it as a global setting. These settings are some kind of stored within PBIX file when you save it.

    If you want to archive some kind of default layout you might take a look to Power BI Desktop template files "PBIT" including your settings and CI.

    If you want this file to be default, you can setup Desktop Client to open it by default with command like: PBIDesktop.exe "Path to PBIT file\Template_01.pbit"

     

    Best regards

    Daniel

      Hi Anonymous , thank you very much for your reply.

      We are already using .pbit files, but I was not aware that it is possible to open them by default. This sounds like an excellent idea and might be sufficient to fulfill our requirements.
