Exporting From published Web links

I'm curious if there is a solution to exporting data from a table that has been published.

I have found Power BI is amazing for making tables of data based on your desired filters on the data. I have made a table which would be a great for make data lists for my team. I've published it to Power BI Reports then I publish it to the web from there. 

This is the result: http://goo.gl/92fSM4

It's a quick simple tool. 

 

What I want to be able to do is be able to export this to Excel or CSV. 

I know that I can do this in Reports by using the ellipses (...) but i really like the simplified view once it's published to web. My theory is my staff shouldn't need to know what Power BI is or how to use it; they should just be able to see the data.

In Chrome i have no options for export but in Explorer I do have an export to Excel function but I get an error message saying "unable to open https://app.powerbi..." but all is shown is "ExternalData_1" in the spreadsheet.

 

Does anyone have solutions or workarounds for this?
