That is because since Power BI's creation up to earlier this week you could do that, and Microsoft just changed that without saying a word.
Resolver IICould you go to the service right now, create a blank report connected to a semantic model, just add a table to it and a random field, select more aptions and try to click export data?
If you are able can you screenshot it?
Super UserHi. I can't find the exact text at the docs but yeah, you can't export something you have just draged and dropped. You must save it first. Then you can remove it and save back again if you didn't want to keep it. If you just want to export on demand columns, the datasets have a Table feature for that. When you open a dataset you don't need to edit them, you can pick columns, build a table and export.

I hope that helps,
