Hi d_gosbell ,

 

Just to confirm, is this on the report server?

 

I have the January 2020 install and I have no elipsis on my table to select export?

 

 

Thanks

Yes, this is on the report server.

 

But you can turn off the access to the ellipsis by turning off the Visual Header on the visual from the properties pane when you edit the report in Power BI Desktop.

    This is strange, they were all turned on.

     

    I have two tables with no sign of elipsis. I have it on the desktop version but not report server.

     

    Could it be anything else? 

     

     

     

     

    Thanks for your help with this.

    Hi d_gosbell 

     

    Is there anything else that could affect this?

     

    I have report server: Version 1.6.7327.3007 (January 2020) 

     

    With no option to edit the table in any way.

     

    Thanks

      All I did was to run the upgrade on my instance and this new feature started working on existing reports, I did not have to do anything to enable it.

       

      For PBIRS I think you can either turn off the Visual Header entirely or just turning off the More Options setting for an individual visual. Or Exporting can be disabled at the server level, but I would not expect that to hide the ... menu as there are other options in there.

       

      If you (or an admin) connect to your PBIRS server using SSMS to connect to http://<servername/ReportServer you can right click on the server and view it's properties, under the advanced settings you can see the following options. The highlighted options show where you can turn off exporting at the server level.

        Hi d_gosbell 

         

        Many thanks for all of your replies. 

         

        It seems it doesn't work for exporting a table - which is what I was aiming for.

         

        It let's me export from a graph, but not table matrix.

         

        Thanks
