Hi @SNDG ,

 

Based on my test, what you want is not supported in Power BI Report Builder currently. Maybe you can try to export to CSV file. It will show the default borders.

 

And you can post your idea here: Ideas (powerbi.com). It is a place for customers to provide feedback about Power BI.

 

 

Best Regards,
