Button to Export to Excel

Exporting data from a visual should be much more intuitive for end-users. Adding the ability to "create a button" for this would be amazing rather than having to walk executives through having to hover and click the three dots to export.

There is an idea here to make it visible too which needs votes: https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=dddaf974-7de4-4f8f-8cba-74e15faff85e Plus a lot of similar/related ones: https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/search-ideas/?q=export%20button

Make button available on publicly published data as well, Publicly published data does not have the three dots.

Not just Excel, I have a table I'd like to export to CSV UTF-8. An export button that did this would cut several steps from my process.


There are other requests that need different encodings, e.g.

Microsoft Idea (powerbi.com)


I keep getting support requests from users because they clicked the wrong kebab (like a card near the table) and this appears to them as export for the table being broken. Putting an export button on pages that are frequently exported would let my users work without interruptions. It would also allow new users to get started faster without learning how to do the hover dance to find the export menu.

Current way of exporting information is not clear to non power bi users.


The function is already available within Power BI itself, just needs a button linked to it.

I know clicking the ellipsis the export data doesn't seem like too hard a process, unless of course you work in the C-suite where it is clearly intolerable! Please Let us put a huge button on the screen for them.

Ability to create button that can export data , instead of ellipsis will alllow better user experience and allows the users of report to easily identify the export option.

A Flow template would be great

This would be amazing to see. the current work around of using powerautomate isn't efficent with a large user base for dashboards. Additionally, Exporting to excel is more in line with other products and more hassle free.
