Hi @Hann ,

 

  • For export from matrix visuals using Data with current layout, consider the following:

    • Matrices with columns and/or values but no rows will be exported as having rows and/or values but no columns

    • Matrices with only one row and/or values but no columns will be exported as table (no right border separator)

    • If the Switch values to rows formatting option is set to 'On' in Power BI for a table or matrix visual, the visual format would not be preserved when data is exported to Excel

    • If the Row subtotals toggle is set to 'Off' in Power BI Desktop for a matrix visual, but the matrix visual has expanded and collapsed sections, exported data will contain subtotals for rows. To work around this issue, use the Expand | All command from the visual's context menu.
