Download in CSV format does not match the format shown in Power BI Matrix visual

When you export to CSV, Power BI exports the underlying data values, not the formatted values shown in the visual. CSV is a plain text format, so things like currency symbols, thousand separators, percentages, or display units (K/M/B) are not preserved.

If you need the exported file to match what users see in the report, consider these options:

• Export to Excel instead of CSV, which preserves formatting more reliably.

• Create a formatted measure or column using FORMAT() if the formatted value itself must be exported.

• For full control over export layout and formatting, consider using a Paginated Report, which is designed for pixel-perfect exports (CSV, Excel, PDF, etc.).
