    If we are talking about creating something inside the report. Then there is no way for local computer. I have thought on a second alternative. It would be using a button with the Power Automate visual. Power Automate can help you configure an export to onedrive or sharepoint of delimited columns table.

    But instead of sending email, saving it at sharepoint.

     

    Regarding javascript, it would be something to read about. It's a deeper level of coding that requires read about power bi embedded analytics to check if there is a way to get that. I think the effort is too much and consider the development won't be triggered or run from the power bi report like the power automate alternative.

    I hope that helps,
