Hello everyone, I have few questions about the export in excel of my report.
Actually I export a table visual :
Here is my questions : I want to add some parameters which can automatically give me the export without modify it.
When I export can i change the name of the page of excel (Export by default) without do it on excel like a parameter before the export :
Can we remove automatically the row where it explains all the filter apply to the table :

AND can we remove the total row in the export without remove it on the report ?

Thank you for your help 🙂 !

Hi @KevinSV,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Forum Community.
To address questions regarding the Power BI to Excel export:
Change the name of the Excel sheet (Export by default) before exporting :
No, Power BI does not allow you to set a custom sheet name before export. You have to rename it manually in Excel after export.
Remove the filter summary row automatically:
No, Power BI automatically appends the filter summary, and there is no built-in option to exclude it during export. However, you can use Power Automate to post-process the file and remove that row.
Remove the total row in the export without removing it from the report:
No, if the total row is visible in the report, it will be included in the export. The only workaround is to create a separate table visual without totals specifically for export.
Workaround:
If you want an automated process, consider using Power Automate to modify the exported file by removing unwanted rows and renaming the sheet programmatically.

Hi @KevinSV
Have you considered sending the data using a Power Automate flow?
This blog covers extracting the DAX that produces the measure and then sending it as a CSV via email:

Or when you are happy with the data connect an Excel report to the data:
