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
Yes, I am also concerned about this, exporting data from the report for the end users is not so user friendly. I think Power BI should have that features of adding button to export the data.
RE: Make the data export buttons VISIBLE
If nothing else, at least add an option in the button Action list to export. Some of my end users are vendors and I can't reach out to every single one to explain how to export using the "..."
RE: Make the data export buttons VISIBLE
This is really basic. Please bring this in.
RE: Make the data export buttons VISIBLE
Echoing comments below, it's unreal that there still isn't some kind of option available on this yet. A button, or even simply an option to make the ellipsis permanently visible for a visual - anything to make it more straightforward for end users to find. I know we live in a world that prefers things to be sleek and pretty, but please, please, please don't ignore this because of style over substance.
RE: Make the data export buttons VISIBLE
I have a lot of demand for this feature from users - many are unable to find export button and even those that can often become confused by hover state logic (see ellipsis, scroll outside of visual to click, become frustrated that it disappeared). Making export data for target visual a button action could be one solution.
RE: Make the data export buttons VISIBLE
Export button needs to be a proper button function One Click Export Button!
RE: Make the data export buttons VISIBLE
Yes! This would help with integration with other systems. Eg. export a list of calls to be escalated and drop the file in a predetermined location for an RPA engine to pick up.
RE: Make the data export buttons VISIBLE
Would help end users by having a more accessible button, rather than it being hidden away
RE: Make the data export buttons VISIBLE
It's pretty much crazytown that something this basic (as previously mentioned) especially for embedding - isn't dead simple to do.
