Confirmation about exporting data from a Publish to Web report?

[Anonymous]

Hey folks, super simple question - Can you export reports to Excel from a report that's visible via Publish to Web?

Context:

Don't have the budget to purchase Pro licenses for everyone at my company, so we're using Publish to Web for our reports (nestled in an SSO enabled intranet site). Understandbly not the most secure option, but we've made peace with that.

Users here want to export data to Excel though, and while that functionality exists for me on the dashboard, it's not present in the published version.

I'm assuming there's no export data option for reports that are embedded via publish to web, but just wanted to get 100% confirmation since some of the help articles with similar questions I found were a little less emphatic about the answer.

Thanks!

I do not know of any export functionality with Publish to Web reports. As I recall, that functionality is actually purposefully disabled in Publish to Web to make it less useful for production purposes. In other words, that would make it too useful and discourage buying Pro licenses.

Thanks! I figured it was either disabled for security purposes or for monetary purposes, so that makes total sense.
