Currently the data-export option is hidden in an invisible ellipsis. One needs to know where that invisible ellipsis is, then they need to hover over it, then they can click it, and finally they can see that this is where they can choose the "Export" option. In my experience, exporting data is a pretty common task, so I don't understand why you go to such great lengths to make it difficult to find.

RE: Make the data export buttons VISIBLE

Absolutely missing feature! I like the idea with an "export"- button.
Also for printing...

Please also consider this kind of BASIC functionalities for Power BI EMBEDDED.
E.g. in ***-Emb. it is not possible to get an export of the whole page incl. charts/headlines etc. Only the data export per visual works - if the user finds this option.

Now we have Buttons, how about adding an action "Export Data" to it?
I have a lot of people who want to see visuals, but they also want the line by line data with job numbers etc so they can export it to Excel.
