Can't export data from (not saved) new visuals made in online dashboard

[CIV_Raquel]

After today I noticed that I can't create and extract data from new visuals using my dashboards online (you know, going quickly in edit and make a visual just to extract some custom database fast), there is a way to make it available again? I use to solve some quick requests from my company and I use it a lot for some quick things that I need only for a quick moment. (In the image bellow Exportar dados is Export Data and it's in grey and putting the mouse over it says that the export is not available for non-saved content.

Thank you very much for the complete answer!

Will try to submit the ideia, because before was always possible, this change is only for the worse (in my opinion). We should be able to export new visuals without a problem (just as we did always, for quick export of data bases and analysis is fundamental).

@CIV_Raquel @Jay_Mitchel You are absolutely correct, this feature was incredibly useful for end users, but now it is wasting a lot of time.

Aligned! This is a bit of a bull that we need to submit a new idea to revert back to a version that was already working perfectly in the past.. 

My idea is here: https://ideas.fabric.microsoft.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=fbd16d0f-609b-ef11-95f5-000d3a0fe9f3

Hi, @CIV_Raquel 

You are correct. As you’ve noted, when you create a new visual object in the service, you must save it first before you can export it. The view under F12 clearly shows that exporting is not possible at this stage.

Here are the relevant document screenshots:

Therefore, my strongest recommendation is to save first and then proceed with the data export. If you’re concerned about affecting the layout of the original view, you could create a new page and then add the new visual object there.

Additionally, based on my practical testing, if you already have a visual object in place, you can directly change the data object or add new field columns, allowing you to export the data without needing to save first.

For example, my report already contains a matrix visual object.

 I can modify it to a table visual object, add a column, and then remove another column, and it will still export correctly.

Here are the export results:

If you feel that performance needs to be improved, you can also submit an idea on

@v-linyulu-msft :
This feature was highly valuable for end users, as requiring the report, page, or visual to be saved every time to export data is inefficient and time-consuming. We kindly request you to reinstate the previous functionality, allowing users to export data without the need to save the visual or page first.
