Power BI Report Builder

Hi, I have a PBI report in service with file name suffixed with star: is there a way/OPTION such that when I export to excel , I get THE FILE NAME as only 101 and not 101-star ...

    No, Power BI Service doesn't support changing the exported Excel filename without renaming the report. Use Power Automate to export the report and rename the file to 101.xlsx during the flow.

    Hi AishwaryaUday ,

    Thanks for using Microsoft Fabric Community,

    When you export the report from Power BI Service, the file name comes from the report name, including any suffixes like “-star.” There’s no option in the service to change the exported file name without changing the report name itself.

    If you want a custom file name like 101.xlsx, you can use Power Automate:

    1. Use the Export To File for Paginated Reports action.

    2. Provide the report parameters.

    3. Add a delay (around 30 seconds) to wait for the export to finish.

    4. Use the Create File action to save the exported file with the name you want.

     

    This way, you can control the file name without renaming the report in Power BI Service.

    Also thanks BhavinVyas3003 for your prompt response.
