Hi @MP_123,

Firstly, it is not able to export data from the report for those users after you publish the report to web, this behavior is by design in Power BI. If you concern this behavior,  I recommend you submit idea on the Power BI Idea forum: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas .

Secondly, as I wrote in my previous reply, when we pin the live page of report to dashboard, there is no option to export data of the report from the dashboard, in this case, you need to go to the report page and then export data.

However, when we pin the report to dashboard using the “Pin visual” option, we are able to export data of the report from the dashboard or directly export data in the report page.

Thanks,
Lydia Zhang

Just checking up and seeing if anybody knows if a solution has arisen for this issue! I have been trying to find a way to export data from a published report and have not been able to. Please let me know if anything has arose that will allow this to happen! 

 

Thanks,

Hi @MP_123,

From your screenshot, it seems you are using the bubble chart custom visual.

Based on my test, when we pin the live page of report to dashboard, there is no option to export data of the report from the dashboard, this behavior is by design in Power BI.

However, when we pin the report to dashboard using the “Pin visual” option as follows, we are able to export data of the report from the dashboard.

tahnk you all!

 

just for my understanding - what is the point of the ability to export only from service?

i share the reports to clients, they want to export the data (they can't see the report on service)

don''t understand why i am the only one who can export

Hi @MP_123,

Could you please elaborate more details about your scenario? How do you share the reports to clients? Based on my test, when I share the dashboard to others, they are able to export data of the report from the shared dashboard when I pin the report to dashboard using the “Pin visual” option.

Thanks,
Lydia Zhang

hi @Anonymous, thanks for replying

 

i have two scenarios:

1.     reports (using import data). when on service, clicking file - >publish to web. and send this link to others.in this way, when see the reports from the link there is no option to export visuals. only me can, using the reading\editing mode in the service.

2.  

reports (using live connection) - because with the live connection on SSAS data source publish to web is disabled, i pinned the whole report (pin live page) to a dashboard. in this scenario export is not enable also

 

thanks!

In order to export my data, I do have to go to the report on the services. I cannot export from the dashboard display. If you follow through the link to go to report, you can export from there. This holds true for both reports that I publish to the service as well as data sets imported to the service.

I am fairly certain that Export Data is not available when you use Publish to Web. 

Publish to Web is used to make your visual available to the world, but not make the underlying data export-able.

I'll double-check and post back here again.
