Button to extract all data from a table to excel

[Irwin]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for a way to create a button that extracts all data from a certain table to a downloadable excel file.

If possible I would love that the selected filters/slicers would be applied to the download.

Is any such thing possible? 

Thank you for all assistance 🙂

Thank you very much! This might be what I am looking for. I will need to watch your vids and educate myself a little. I hope I can get it to work 🙂

You can just do this from clicking the three dots in the right top corner of the visual and select export data

Hi mh2587,

Yes thank you. However that is just from one figure? I would like to just make a button that would extract the entire table (approx 100 columns and alot of rows)

I'm not sure what you mean by "figure".

If you go to a viz, click the 3 dots, and export to an Excel file your Excel file contains only the columns and rows the viz shows you.

Hi Croberts,

Okay. Maybe I was bad at expressing myself.

A visual can only contain the data you supply to it. So if I extract something from a line chart it gives me what I put in to create the lines.

I want a button that downloades an excel sheet containing the entire table (with all columns). 
I suppose I could create a table with all my columns... but I have 100 and it would look "ugly" in the report.

It would also not be as user friendly for the end user to "click the three dots". The people I am developing this for have a hard time just clicking a button with instructions. 

I would like a button that says "Data" and once clicked an excel sheet is auto downloaded to their download folder containing the entire table I have created my 50+ visuals from.
