Power BI sensitivity labels disable some Excel features in the exported file

Hello to everybody,

The Excel file exported from Power BI  and protected with data sensitivity label has some of the features disabled (e.g. Sparklines) and ‘Export’ permission not allowed.  Could you please advise if and how this behaviour can be changed so that Sparklines and other Excel features are not disabled in Excel files exported from Power BI reports protected with sensitivity label?

 

For example, the default ‘Confidential’ label applied to Power BI report will cause the exported Excel file have the ‘Sparklines’ feature disabled and ‘Export’ permission not allowed .

If the same ‘Confidential’ label is applied to the document within Excel, the ‘Sparklines’ feature is available and ‘Export’ permission is not blocked.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there

As far as I know you will need to chat to your admin who set up the sensitivity labels and ask them to make the required changes.
