The matrix cannot export the current layout. The option allows exporting
Solved! Go to Solution.
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.
