restrict export to excel

[berickson]

We see that there is a way at the tenant level to restrict the export to excel as well as the analyze in excel but we need an option per dataset (preferred) or per Power BI Report to restrict this option. The problems we are facing is for both sensitive information and also for volumes of data that is too large for this option. We need to have the ability to stop this option for these specific datasets but allow it for other non-sensitive information - so the tenant level option is not appropriate.

This would be great to have!

Completely Agree this would save a lot of time and enable us to put more SSRS requests through Power BI

Power BI is an amazing platform but Excel is the most widely used data analysis tool so far. Lots of users need to see data in Excel, so the option to export data to Excel is very handy. If the strong security control capabilities of Power BI can be applied to this data export feature, it would be great. Please also offer more options for choosing the datasets of choices. I strongly support this idea.

Export to Excel is indeed a need especially considering our company habits but should in my opinion be disable for large volumes of data. We would then prevent servers to crash and users would not be tempted to export huge lists of data to then analyze it through pivots, just because they feel more comfortable with Excel.

Separate settings for the application, report and dataset a great option and very flexible. Many of our data sets are too large to be exported but individual visuals in reports are not.

please implement this, we already have Power BI Premium in place, but this is holding us back to use Apps company-wide!

[fbcideas_migusr]

Please, please implement this! Especially for the Analyse in Excel function. Ideally it will be flexible to allow what datasets or reports to restrict.

Please implement this. We have had to switch off as clients were exporting massive volumes of data comprising the entire system for all clients.

[ronald_laxton1]

Please implement this - we work primarily with enterprise level clients, and the data sets are almost always large, so we really need this functionality.

also the filters should be optional in the PBI Service, in many reports this is a very important tool to build the model. Pure consumers should not be able to change preset filters. They could add filters, but not change those that are set by the creator.
