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.

This is critically needed! I've spend a soul crushing amount of time with end users showing them how to hover in the exact spot to get the ellipses to show.

The current option to export data is not easily found, leading to frustrated users.

Please make it possible to add as an action to a button. Users always seem to forget how to find the ellipses

A simple button to export a table is really needed in my opinion.Creating a Power automate button works for only 1000 rows, which is really not useful at all.

No good workarounds except for Power Automate. I have received multiple requests for making export more intuitive from PowerBI Reports

RE: Make the data export buttons VISIBLE

I agree - the only available workaround is to use Power Automate but that isn't compatible with PaaS.

RE: Make the data export buttons VISIBLE

This could be action in the current button. After selection the action choose which table in a tab it applies to. Also make export work when header in not shown. Visual header is annoying but I need to keep it on because people want to be able to export data.
