Make the data export buttons VISIBLE

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.

Add the option of making it visible

Agreed. This would make it easier for occasional users of BI reports to export. It is not intuitive for those who don't frequently navigate PowerBI reports and having an easy to use "Export" button is something most people expect to see.

I would love this. End users keep getting so confused by the current functionality...

Totally agree with this, I have to add a clunky looking arrow to my reports showing users where they have to hover the mouse to see the ellipses.

YES!!! Can we please have buttons be set up to all some or all of a tab to be exported with one click?

Getting the "more options" ellipsis to appear also seems to be temperamental. Makes exporting data so much more difficult than it needs to be. Having it easy access or as a button would simplify this massively

It's too bad this feature is not available yet! I agree with the other commenters; you have to train every user and it's not intuitive whatsoever. Looking forward to this development!

RE: Make the data export buttons VISIBLE

You have to train every single user how to do this, an export button and making the option available via right click would be a massive user improvement
