RE: Data export from Q&A screen

Data export will be a valuable feature for developers to embed the results returned onto an application. This will also give the ability to customize the results returned from a UI perspective.

RE: Data export from Q&A screen

Agree with the other comments, PowerBI Q&A is awesome and would be even better if it could export data. Our consumers get very excited when they see what it is capable of. Then they ask the next logical question of "how do I export this" and then we hear the price-is-right horn in the background.

RE: Data export from Q&A screen

Extremely important feature. You can ask me why - the first mover will gain significant market share in the BI market e.g. Thoughtspot relational search engine. Despite Thoughtspot positioning on this single feature, they have attracted investments and customers. This is the feature that customer value so much because it is so easy to look for what they need. Since Power BI is so close, Data export from Q&A is extremely important.

RE: Data export from Q&A screen

Giving users the ability to do their own Q&A is a great idea, but in order to be truly useful many users need the ability to export the data so they can do further data manipulations. As it is now, it's great for demos and answering quick questions, but it's not very useful for in-depth analysis.

RE: Data export from Q&A screen

Q&A has huge potential; however, this will not be fully released unless it is made possible for the user to export the underlying data from the resulting visualization.
