Exporting from Power BI

Exporting Data from dashboards, reports, visualizations, or Apps all offer a range of different options. These options vary depending on the kind of data, what the document publisher has allowed as well as your permissions in the document.

The export menu can be found on the far-left side of the document ribbon. The range of exporting options available include:

Print
- Dashboards often do not offer direct export to pdf option.
- Instead, this can be done through the print option.
- Under Print menu select printer name ‘adobe PDF’.

Export to PDF
- The easiest option to share graphics and data.
- This is a static image and thus not interactive.
- High quality.
- No issues surrounding access, therefore good for third-party sharing.

Export to PowerPoint
- Will include clickable images that link each visualization back to the original Power BI document.
- However, for them to access this link they must have access to the original document.
