?? Export (.csv/xlsx) Naming
I'm exporting some reports from a dashboard and some of the export .csv sheets are named properly and the others are named 'data'. Can anyone identify the issue?

GilbertQ the .csv is being generated from the report/visual that is in the dashboard.
Does the source still matter if they all have titles?

6 years agoI do not think it should matter, but I was trying to find out why it was different.

GilbertQ I've also enabled the 'Display title and subtitle' option and they are all showing titles.
I can manually change the name from data.csv to actual file name, once exported, but when there are more than 50 and they need to be pulled everyday, it becomes a pain.

Hi there
My question would be as to why there is a manual export that happens every day?
When all the data is contained in the Power BI reports.
And another option is to connect via Excel where you could have an Excel file which has got all the details you need with potentially 50 sheets.
This could then be opened and click refresh, save and then done.- Anonymous6 years agoNot applicable
GilbertQ can you please clarify what you mean by 'connect via excel'? Also, is there a property in Power BI Desktop that may deal with titles etc?
Also they are needed for snapshots of past (for hisotrical reference); the data source is dynamic.
Thanks for this!
