I have volumes of information to share with my teams that is best presented in tables and matrices. It would be a huge improvement if they were able to export the data from the visualizations and have the formatting in Excel match the formatting created within PowerBI.

This would be especially helpful for ongoing forecasting activities.

Thanks for your feedback on this issue - while we'd like to enable this, there is currently no timetable around doing so. There is the option as a workaround the create a paginated view as a drillthrough of the visual and have a formatted version you can export to Excel, but understand this isn't a solution everyone can take advantage of currently.

Agree, this really is a key feature as the distribution of Power BI is pretty restricted cross-companies. Internally, Power BI has increased our efficiency, but without an easy way to get the data into other deliverable formats, it is only so helpful.

RE: Allow Table and Matrix Data Exports to Match PowerBI Visual

If Power BI wants to remain competitive this is a "must have" feature. It is available in other BI platorms. It is very important feature especially when you have got the format correctly working in Power BI and the dowload does not respect the format. In order to get the attention from the financial community....this is a must have feature. Thanks. Adi
