Exporting data from a visual should be much more intuitive for end-users. Adding the ability to "create a button" for this would be amazing rather than having to walk executives through having to hover and click the three dots to export.

RE: Button to Export to Excel

Not just Excel, I have a table I'd like to export to CSV UTF-8. An export button that did this would cut several steps from my process.There are other requests that need different encodings, e.g.Microsoft Idea (powerbi.com)I keep getting support requests from users because they clicked the wrong kebab (like a card near the table) and this appears to them as export for the table being broken. Putting an export button on pages that are frequently exported would let my users work without interruptions. It would also allow new users to get started faster without learning how to do the hover dance to find the export menu.

Make button available on publicly published data as well, Publicly published data does not have the three dots.
