Export to Excel with conditional formatting

Hi,

I have a report(sample) with table showing conditional formatting on values shown as below.

I would like to have option of exporting the data into excel(right export to excel from service) with conditional formatting intact(with highlighted color codes).

Right now I can see we can export without formatting.

Please let me know if there is a way to achieve this requirement.

The Inforiver matrix visual does this. You could also import the Power BI dataset via Get Data in Excel, do your conditional formatting in Excel pivot tables, and refresh the data in the future without losing said formatting.

Thanks for the suggestions,
Can we achieve this in default matrix visualization?

Also, I am looking for this feature for business users of the report,so i wont be sharing my dataset with them.

No I don't think you can get conditional formatting applied to default matrix visual to carry over to an Excel export.

 

Sharing access to Power BI datasets with users that want to query it from Excel is actually a feature made for business users. You could hide physical columns and expose just the dimensions and measures necessary to build Excel pivot tables.
