Export data from a visual not working

[zack_data]

Hi cummunity,

I am a Data Anlist for a large organisation. Often, users of reports want to export data in a visualisation to an excel file.

In order to enable that, I have enabled 'Export to excel' and also allowed end users to export data with current layout and summarized data from the Power BI service from the report settings of the reports.

However, it seems that the option to export to excel only works for table and matrix visuals but not for (for example) barchart or linechart visuals.

When I hover over the barchart or linechart visuals, I don't see the three dotted menu that I could normally click on to see the option to export in excel (see below an example from Microsoft documentations).

Does anyone know why this happens? Is this because you can only export data to excel for table and matrix visuals?

Thanks

Hi. That can be changed by the developer. In addition to the configurations you have mentioned, the developer can hide the header icons of a specific visual. Hidding the icons will prevent those operations.

I hope that helps
