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 :

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:
