how to export data to excel from Power BI

Hi Friends,

I have just started using Power BI platform for my Company's Business Intelligence.

Could somebody tell me how an user can export the data either from a chart or a table?

Thanks,

Sri.

Unfortunately, you cannot. I know there is a feature request for this out there that you can vote for.

    For those of us on the Desktop version, the R script seems the most likely. However I've followed the scripting on THE BICCOUNTANT and still encounter an error. My dataset is well below the 150k limit (around 58k), and the matrix display visual is correctly displaying it. However this is what I receive with the R Script:
    Error Message:
    R script error.
    Error: unexpected input in "write.table(trim(dataset), file=”"
    Execution halted
    
    Does that mean anything to the more experienced users?
    
    Thanks in advance
