Our organization requires a feature to disable data export for specific visualizations in Power BI, especially for visuals containing personal and confidential data, to prevent unauthorized data distribution.
Is it possible to implement this feature in Power BI?

Faikar
Solved! Go to Solution.
Unfortunately, there is no visualization level setting to restrict the exported data. You can vote for this idea.
As workaround, you can turn off the "visual header" on the Visual you don't want people to be able to export data from, it workes for me in somecases
Select the required visual -> Format Visual section -> Header Icon and disable it

Thank you @arvindsingh802. Can you give the instructions how to turn off visual header on the visualization?
