Hello,

Hi @Kellef 

Much thanks to @Ritaf1983 and @AnalyticsWizard for the prompt replies on where to change the export data settings. This setting is a report-level setting so it will affect all visuals in a report. 

The Data with current layout is only available for Matrix visual. The granularity of data exported to Excel using the Data with current layout and Summarized data options are identical and the only difference between the options is the shape of the data in Excel. Power BI does not offer the granularity to disable "Summarized data" and "Underlying data" while leaving "Data with current layout" enabled.

As of now, achieving the exact customization you're looking for (disabling "Summarized data" and "Underlying data" while enabling "Data with current layout") is not directly supported through Power BI's built-in settings. I recommend providing feedback to the Fabric Ideas Forum, as this could be a valuable feature enhancement.

Best Regards,
Jing

Hello,
yes, unfortunately I've already tried the ones they comment on below. That's not what I'm looking for, I'm looking to be able to only display, export data "with current layout".

Hello!

To limit the export options for a report in Power BI, you'll need to adjust the settings in the Power BI service or in Power BI Desktop where the report is being published. Here's how you can limit the export data options:

1. In Power BI Service:
- Go to the workspace where your report is published.
- Select the report to open it.
- Navigate to the 'File' menu, then click on 'Settings'.
- Under the 'Export data' section, you will find options to control the data export settings. You can disable 'Summarized data' and 'Underlying data' here.

2. In Power BI Desktop:
- Go to the 'File' menu and then 'Options and settings'.
- Click on 'Options'.
- In the 'Options' window, go to the 'Report settings' tab.
- You'll see options under 'Export data from Power BI Desktop'. You can adjust these settings to restrict the data export options.

Please note that these settings may also depend on the permissions given by the Power BI Admin within your organization, as there are tenant-level settings that can restrict data export options as well. If you're not able to change these settings, you may need to contact your Power BI Administrator.

Keep in mind that changes made in Power BI Service settings will only apply to the service, and similar settings in Power BI Desktop will apply only when reports are viewed in Desktop. These settings are report-specific, so you'll need to configure them for each report where you want to limit the export options.

Hi, thank you for youre reply.

The problem is that is that there is no option where i only can disable summarized. I can only disable all options of export and not only summarized.

Hi @Kellef

You can disable underlying exporting.
Summarized data unfortunately no.

All options that we have are in the attached picture.
(The modifications come from power bi desktop >> options and settings >>options >>current file)
