In this article, we’ll show how to export a Table Visualisation to Excel from a Power BI report. When it's time to export data, there are two options - 'data with current layout', and 'summarised data'.
Data with current layout
With this option, you'll get a simple unformatted table with the same layout as in Power BI. All formatting present in Power BI is removed. The export will look like this:
Summarised data
A summarised export will retain any filters applied to the Table Visualisation. Rows will be colour-coded, and pre-built filters will be applied to columns. It will include the summarized data used to create your visual (for example, sums, averages, and medians). The export will look like this:
Note that a maximum of 150,000 rows can be exported at a time so before exporting data, we recommend filtering the report to show just the information you need. This will also make the export much easier to work with.
