Hi all,
After the last update of Power BI Report server, version 2.109.1021.0 (septembre 2022), I have seen that now there are three options to export to excel, however, the option that interests me to export Data wih current Layout is disabled
I have created a simple report with a visualization type matrix, and I am already considering all the posts I have seen to export matrices :
"- 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 Show on rows toggle is set to 'On' in Power BI Desktop for a table or matrix visual, the visual format would not be preserved when data is exported to Excel
- f 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."
I have published the report in the Power BI Report Server version and when I clic "Export Data" on the matrix I do not have the option available to export Data wih current Layaout.
A colleague published the same report in the Power BI Services version and there the option Data wih current Layout is available.
Could it be that this option is not yet fully developed for Power BI Report Server?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Solved! Go to Solution.
This is sort of a byproduct of features being developed in different parts of the Power BI orginization and lighting up in different products at different times. Unfortunately, without getting into too detailed of an explanation, it is a feature that is not available yet in PBIRS. This should be addressed and work in the January PBIRS release next year.
Hi everyone,
Unfortunately, this new feature is still not added to January 2023 release of Report Server, it got delayed.
As Pete mentioned earlier in his reply, that's one of features developed in a different part of Power BI, and we simply didn't get it in RS yet.
We are following up frequently, and will include the feature as soon as it's ready 😌
Sorry about the inconvenience.
About the download page - it is a known thing, that it takes more time for files to be updated in some regions. We will look if we can make it faster next time.
Thanks for understanding!
